Automotive tech companies Safran and Valeo have teamed up for a digital system that monitors drivers using biometrics. Focusing on enhanced customization and experience, the brands are working to add facial recognition capabilities to Valeo's popular auto features.
In addition to developing heightened security features for new car models across multiple price points, Safran and Valeo have also teamed up to lower the risk of weather-related accidents that are often a result of poor visibility while on the road.
Using a 360°Vue camera feature -- originally designed for military vehicles -- this collaborative 'Drive4U' system enhances visibility during late hours, in poorly lit areas and even during harsh weather conditions like rain and snow storms or heavy wind speeds.
