Jaguar Land Rover works on emotion recognition technology - all you need to know

British luxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover is developing a new driver aid which will make the car respond to the driver's mood. It will be able to alter ambient light, ventilation temperature control, ambient temperature and selecting the driver’s playlist to help the driver tackle stress.

The “mood-detection system”, as Jaguar Land Rover calls it, will be equipped with latest AI techniques to continually adapt to changes in the driver’s facial expressions and implement appropriate settings automatically.

The system can adapt to a driver’s preference and adjust accordingly. These settings include changing the ambient lighting to calming colours if the system detects the driver is under stress, selecting a favourite playlist if signs of weariness are identified, and lowering the temperature in response to yawning or other signs of getting tired.

The technology is one of many that Jaguar Land Rover is developing under its ‘tranquil sanctuary’ vision. The company is aiming to create a sanctuary inside each of its luxury cars and states that mood-detection software is the next-generation of Jaguar Land Rover’s existing driver tracking technology.
