HARMAN Advance Vehicle Safety With Intelligent Awareness Inside And Beyond The Cabin (Press Release) | V3Cars

Here’s what HARMAN have to say about advancing vehicle safety with intelligent awareness:

As OEMs pursue a Zero Accident vision, achieving holistic awareness, inside the cabin and beyond the vehicle, is essential to supporting confident driver decision-making. Today, HARMAN, the automotive technology leader and subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., announced new safety capabilities for the latest generation of its Ready Care and Ready Aware products, delivering integrated in-cabin monitoring paired with sight beyond sight awareness to help improve safety performance and support NCAP requirements. Through production-ready software, scalable connectivity, and vehicle-grade hardware, HARMAN enables OEMs to deploy intelligent safety experiences that are practical today, adaptable for tomorrow, and designed to operate seamlessly across key layers of connected mobility.

 

“The future of automotive safety depends on sight beyond sight—vehicles that can sense, interpret, and respond to both human and road conditions in real time, and deliver the right support without adding distraction” said Suman Sehra, Vice President, Connectivity Portfolio Management at HARMAN. “HARMAN is uniquely positioned to deliver that holistic awareness by combining in-cabin intelligence, real-time connectivity, and vehicle-grade platforms that are ready to ship at scale, helping OEMs move from concept to deployment while advancing toward a Zero Accident future.”

Ready Care makes in-cabin intelligence more precise and actionable while still operating on existing OEM hardware. It combines advanced driver monitoring with intelligent, proactive interventions that help manage driver stress and emotional state, supporting safety, comfort and overall well-being for a more relaxed driving experience. New enhancements include single-heartbeat detection for more precise vital-sign measurement and enhanced occupant-position monitoring to support safer airbag deployment. The result is a clearer understanding of the people in the cabin—where they are, how they’re doing and when the vehicle should respond.

Ready Aware extends that protection beyond the vehicle by delivering intelligent, timely, and contextual alerts that help drivers better anticipate road hazards and navigate complex intersections. Ready Aware operates without the need for new hardware, leveraging existing cloud and connectivity capabilities (4G/5G) through a vehicle-to-network (V2N) architecture. A new Machine Learning (ML)-based Confidence Engine improves alert precision and automatically reduces false alerts, minimizing information overload and eliminating the need for driver interaction or crowd-sourced confirmation that can introduce distraction. This ensures drivers receive only the most relevant, actionable insights.

Together, Ready Care and Ready Aware help OEMs advance safety and driver-assistance roadmaps, including NCAP-oriented feature strategies, while keeping deployment practical and scalable. Drivers can build a clearer, more confident understanding of both the cabin and the road ahead.

Powering these intelligent safety experiences is Ready Connect, HARMAN’s award-winning suite of telematics control units designed to help drivers and passengers stay connected to what matters most, even in challenging environments. Ready Connect provides the robust connectivity foundation in the vehicle layer required to deliver real-time awareness beyond the vehicle, enabling safety solutions in the applications layer like Ready Aware to surface timely, contextual safety insights when and where they matter most. Supporting short-range, long-range, and satellite communication in the connectivity layer through a unified architecture, Ready Connect ensures safety experiences from solutions like Ready Care and Ready Aware can scale reliably across regions and vehicle platforms. Ready Connect demonstrates HARMAN’s ability to deliver production-ready connectivity that enables intelligent safety at scale.
