Cabin:
Currently, the GS4 PLUS has the following 12 functions:
- Fatigue relief: By recognizing the driver’s facial features (squinting, yawning, expressions, etc.), the car judges the driver’s state of fatigue and carries out different strategies accordingly for mild, moderate, and severe fatigue.
- Distraction reminder: If the driver is distracted, the car gives a voice reminder and pops up a prompt box to remind the driver to drive safely. If a call is made (without using the car’s Bluetooth), the car also gives a voice reminder and pops up a prompt box.
- Call lowering: If the passenger talks while the driver is driving, the car gives a pop-up prompt, lowers the music volume, closes the passenger window, and retracts the sunroof. If both the driver and passenger are on a call and the driver is using the car’s Bluetooth, the car gives a pop-up prompt, closes all windows, and retracts the sunroof. After the call ends, if there is no manual adjustment, the car returns to the state before the call.
- Smoking ventilation: When the cabin monitoring system detects that someone is smoking in the front row, the car gives a voice reminder and pops up a prompt box. The sunroof is opened, the car windows are opened, the air conditioner is switched to outer circulation, and negative ions are released. After smoking, if there is no manual adjustment, the car returns to the state before smoking.
- Mood music: When the voice assistant plays music, the cabin monitoring system can play corresponding types of music based on the current mood of the driving and riding personnel.
- Gesture song switching: When music is playing, within the visible range of the car’s monitoring camera, sliding the palm from right to left switches to the previous song; sliding from left to right switches to the next song.
