Smart Seat

The integration of the pressure sensor foils in carseats enables the differentiation between people and other objects my means of artificial intelligence and pattern recognition. This information about the driver's presence forms the basis for various driver assistance and safety systems such as seat-belt reminders and emergency call systems in the event of an accident. Pressure sensors could determine whether the object in the passenger seat is a child seat and, if so, automatically deactivate the airbag.
