AutoEmotive: Bringing Empathy to the Driving Experience

Principal Investigator Patricia Maes

Co-investigator Rosalind Picard


Regardless of the emotional state of drivers, current cars feel impassive and disconnected. We believe that by adding emotion-sensing technologies inside the car, we can dramatically improve the driving experience while increasing the safety of drivers. This work explores the landscape of possible applications when incorporating stress-sensing devices in the car.
