[{"type":"text","content":"LAS VEGAS, Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX) is once again using CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) to showcase its product portfolio designed to help automakers progress toward the autonomous age with scalable, camera-based driver-assistance features ready for implementation on today’s vehicles. In addition, the company will debut an all-new aircraft mockup that demonstrates next-gen features designed to enhance the flight experience. Gentex is a technology company and long-time supplier of electro-optical products for the global automotive, aerospace and fire protection industries. It’s best known for supplying nearly every major automaker with vision, dimmable glass, sensing, and connected-car technologies that optimize driver vision while enhancing driving safety and comfort. “This year at CES, our automotive and aerospace customers will be able to experience Gentex technologies in new and exciting ways,” said Neil Boehm, Gentex vice president of engineering and chief technology officer. “We’ve developed advanced vehicle and aircraft fuselage simulators that allow show attendees to experience first-hand the benefits of our technology right on the show floor.” Sensing Evolving NCAP regulations and increasing levels of driving automation have automakers scrambling to implement safety systems for monitoring the driver and vehicle occupants. Gentex’s strategy to address this need will be central to the company’s expansive CES booth, which will feature a unique vehicle demonstrator that showcases a scalable yet holistic approach to driver and in-cabin monitoring. It provides an immersive experience that allows visitors to see what the system’s mirror- and overhead-integrated camera see, understand the system’s decision-making processes, and learn about corresponding feature sets. Gentex’s driver monitoring system tracks driver head pose, eye gaze, and other metrics to determine distraction, drowsiness, sudden sickness, and return of manual control in semi-autonomous vehicles. The system can be easily expanded to include 2D and 3D cabin monitoring for detecting passengers, behavior, objects, and even presence of life. Additionally, machine olfaction sensors provide a digital sense of smell for detecting airborne chemicals and particulates, helping keep passengers safe and vehicles up and running....
