According to foreign media reports, Sri International (SRI), a non-profit research center, recently released advanced emotional AI (emotional artificial intelligence) automotive technology, which will enable the next generation of vehicles to detect drivers' emotions and respond accordingly.

Designed for the next generation of cars, emotional AI technology can improve the driving experience while taking advantage of advanced technology, and is suitable for commercialization. Automotive companies plan to use Sri's emotional AI technology, the first phase of visual AI technology, in their concept car LQ. Visual AI will observe drivers and monitor their emotional and physical condition. The technology can recognize gestures and non-verbal behaviors, such as the driver's expression and action. For example, if the driver looks sad, the car can guide the driver to choose a better and more relaxed route. In addition, the technology can also detect the driver's alertness / sleepiness, including eye movement, blink mode, head movement mode, etc., and by playing a sound to wake up the driver, blowing cold air or instructing the driver to pull over immediately, so as to reduce accidents. "Our goal is to make cars understand drivers and work with them," said William mark, chairman of Sri information and computing science. Therefore, the AI in the car must recognize human's emotional and physical state. The development of Sri in emotional AI vision technology will bring rich driving experience, so that the car can understand the driver. " Daisuke Ido, chief engineer of Toyota LQ, said, "imagine that in the future, the car can apply deep learning AI to infer the driver's mood and assess the driver's status. Toyota cooperates with Sri to develop AI technology and monitor drivers, which can greatly improve safety technology and effectively help drivers maintain inner peace. "
