Hyundai Mobis’ In-Cabin Monitoring System Ready for Mass Production

Hyundai Mobis has developed a new In-Cabin Monitoring System (ICM) that uses cameras and software to monitor passengers’ posture, behavior, and biometric signals in real-time. The system analyzes camera signals to identify potential dangers and alerts passengers through visual or audio notifications.

The ICM can detect multiple dangerous scenarios, including drowsy driving, distracted phone use, smoking, hands off the steering wheel, unbuckled seat belts, and children left unattended in back seats. The technology integrates monitoring capabilities for both front and rear cabin areas into a unified system, representing an advancement over earlier systems that focused solely on driver monitoring.

The system has received ASPICE certification, meeting European vehicle software standards, and exceeds regional New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) safety evaluation requirements.

“With the advancement of autonomous driving, the demand for safety technology along with convenient functions inside the vehicle is increasing,” stated Shin Shin-cheol, Head of the Electronic Control Development Division at Hyundai Mobis.

The company reports that its system has achieved mass-production readiness, differentiating it from concept technologies showcased by competitors at CES 2025, including Mitsubishi Electric’s FLEXConnect system. Hyundai Mobis plans to enhance the system’s healthcare capabilities through driver biosignal analysis and develop a next-generation version specialized for commercial fleet services.

Looking ahead, Hyundai Mobis will begin securing orders from global customers in 2025, with a particular focus on the European market. Meanwhile, technological advancement will continue. “We will focus on analyzing different body structures for each passenger in detail and developing high-accuracy software,” Shin said.
