Kia cars can Real Time Emotion Adaptive Driving System your face in future!

Kia’s mood-sensing interface is called R.E.A.D (Real-time Emotion Adaptive Driving System) and it assesses driver’s emotional state by detecting and analysing bio signals. Kia has specially designed experiential R.E.A.D modules installed at CES 2019. Beyond Autonomous.

That is the key theme of South Korean carmaker Kia’s technology showcase at the Consumer Electronics Show 2019 in Las Vegas. Kia has developed an AI-operated car interior interface which deciphers drivers’ emotions and simultaneously optimizes the in-vehicle environment to match it.

Thanks to an army of sensors interweaved together, R.E.A.D (as Kia calls it) creates a personalised driver’s space. By continuously assessing the driver’s emotional state through detection and analysis of bio signals it adjusts lighting, sound, cabin temperature, seat vibration and even scent! The R.E.A.D system can detect a variety of signals such as facial expression and heartbeat with the help of AI machine learning.
