Ford's Future Car Will Detect Your Mood — The End Of Road Rage?
By using sophisticated microphones and cameras, the vehicle could learn which songs/music to play depending on the mood you’re in.
American automaker Ford has announced that it is working on facial-recognition software that will be able to tell what mood you're in. Apart from that, It will also try to make you happy by providing a sympathetic ear or even playing your favourite music.
It is expected that nearly 90 percent of the new cars will get voice recognition within the next five years. Ford also says that the next step in automotive technology could be vehicles picking up on changes in facial expressions or the modulation of speaking voice.
Dominic Watt, senior lecturer, Department of Language and Linguistic Science, University of York, "Lots of people already love their cars, but with new in-car systems that learn and adapt, we can expect some seriously strong relationships to form."
"The car will soon be our assistant, travel companion and sympathetic ear," he added. "You'll be able to discuss everything and ask anything, to the point many of us might forget we're even talking to a machine."
By using sophisticated microphones and cameras, the vehicle could learn which songs/music to play depending on the mood you're in. The system can also tweak the interior lighting to reflect your mood.
Ford is set to reveal its latest developments in mobility and connectivity at the Mobile World Congress tech event in Barcelona. The company has also said about the partnership with RWTH Aachen University to do further research using multiple microphones to improve speech processing and reduce the effect of unwanted noise and potential disruptions.
