Senseair’s touch-free alcohol sensors can be seamlessly integrated into vehicles by the OEM such that there is no physical hardware in the vehicle cabin. Drivers will provide a puff of breath directed towards a small sensor, which can be outfitted around the steering wheel, dashboard, or in the door trim, and the system will quantify breath alcohol content in seconds.

Senseair alcohol sensing products can be used in vehicles or as a stationary check-in system, enabling first-of-its-kind mouthpiece-free instrumentation for workplace and aftermarket vehicle installations. This is the next generation of alcolocks, ensuring safe and secure vehicle startup with little inconvenience to the business and drivers.

The widespread use of EVs and autonomous driving has resulted in an increased desire for privacy and comfort in the cabin, as well as clear and natural voice communication. AKM addresses this need with solutions that cancel environmental noise and provide a realistic, organic audio experience. In addition to hands-free and in-vehicle communication technologies, AKM provides solutions for active road noise cancellation, engine sound synthesis, and audio processing tailored to the cabin environment.

Enabling a system for clear communication with outside contacts is essential for safety and for handling emergencies such as automobile accidents. Automotive emergency call systems require highly reliable solutions that comply with telematics standards. AKM’s 15+ years of experience in hands-free communication have led to the development of voice DSPs that have been adopted for eCall and other emergency communications systems. These technologies are key to enabling a quick response in the event of an accident.

AKM’s audio D/A converters (DACs) provide solutions for high quality audio system with the original digital-analog converting technology.

They are used in variety of applications such as AV receivers, set-top boxes, speaker systems, digital TVs and car-entertainment systems, contributing to the sound quality and power consumption improvements and reducing external parts.

It is important to monitor the conditions of drivers and passengers to prevent the driver from dozing off at the wheel and children from being left in the cabin. AKM’s millimeter-wave radar ICs, which feature high spatial resolution and precision, can sense respiration rates without the use of a camera; this allows for accurate monitoring without compromising privacy. This approach will be essential for in-vehicle safety in the future.
