In collaboration with the University of Stuttgart and the Fraunhofer Institute, we are developing voice-based human-machine interfaces that capture user and contextual information while driving. Using our technology, our voice assistant supports the researcher in the car and interacts with the drivers. In a subsequent phase, the AI system will be used for emotion recognition. This capability is expected to significantly enhance the in-vehicle user experience.

Research Project “Age-Appropriate Behavior”
We are collaborating with Continental to explore the concept of “level-appropriate behavior.” Identifying and monitoring safety-critical situations poses challenges for drivers, especially when there are frequent transitions between fully automated, partially automated, and manual driving.
The goal is to clearly show drivers which level of automation they are currently in and how they should respond. To this end, we are developing a virtual co-pilot that explains the test scenario, answers questions, and is available throughout the drive. Our AI provides support, particularly when switching between autonomous driving levels.
KARLI Mid-Year Presentation 2023
Experience research firsthand! SUSI&James attended the KARLI Project midterm presentation at Continental’s Zukunftswerkstatt in Frankfurt. Our voice-based applications were also on display there as part of the AI solutions developed by our partners Ford Motor Company, Continental, and the University of Stuttgart.
The KARLI project consists of eight subprojects, three of which are supported by our technology in the research phase. The latest interim results on the topics of “level-compliant behavior,” “AI interaction,” and “motion sickness” were presented in technical talks and could also be experienced firsthand in the test vehicles.
Intelligent driving of the future requires the development of AI systems capable of triggering in-vehicle interactions that are tailored to the individual and the context, thereby helping to ensure a safe and comfortable ride.
It was exciting to experience the systems and voice interactions firsthand in test vehicles and try them out for ourselves. We also had the opportunity to meet familiar faces and discuss their projects, visions, and goals with stakeholders and decision-makers. Networking with others is very valuable to us.
We are excited to be working with KARLI to help shape the future of driving.
