An autonomous drive vehicle hit a passerby for the first time last month. This accident evokes people vigilance about self-driving Uber vehicle. It also has spurred a crisis of conscience in the autonomous vehicle industry. After that, more and more engineers and company are coming to focus on technology on preventing future self-driving collisions, these autonomous drive vehicles companies are expected to catch this chance.
One of them, Renovo Auto, a Silicon Valley company, has developed an operating system.This system integrates all the software needed to run a fleet of autonomous vehicles. You might remember the Renovo Coupe, a $529,000 electric supercar with 1,000 pound-feet of torque and a 0–60 time of 3.4 seconds, or, more recently, its project to convert a DeLorean with an electric powertrain and then do autonomous donuts with it.
Recently, Renovo is working hard on building system for the self-driving car.This system can capture not only driver attention but also read passenger and passerby facial expressions.It can effectively reduce the probability of the accident by a better understanding of the emotions inside and outside the vehicle. The company Now begin cooperation with AI startup Affectiva to integrate this new system into its fleet of test vehicles.

Affectiva’s system can not only work as a driver monitoring tool but also ensure drivers safety and keep their eyes on the road.During the self-driving software is driving the vehicle, the emotional tracker to ensure passengers safe and secure during their autonomous trips.Affectiva trained its software to read emotional reactions by deep learning algorithms.It can study a wide range of people from all ages and ethnic backgrounds. And then, Renovo integrates Affectiva’s application into its self-driving system, which allows it to access any of the cameras inside or outside the car.
