Unveiling Safety Assessment Model DFR, Building the Next-Generation In-Vehicle Active Safety System

With the continuous evolution of European automotive safety regulations, E-NCAP 2026 proposes higher standards for all-vehicle occupant safety. Currently, Youjia Innovation has completed E-NCAP 2026 regulation adaptation, and relevant solutions have also entered the implementation stage. Relying on visual and radar fusion technology, the company can achieve Child Presence Detection (CPD) function, covering multiple scenarios of forward-facing and backward-facing safety seats, comprehensively guarding the travel safety of all occupants in the vehicle.

On the basis of meeting existing regulatory requirements, Youjia Innovation further anticipates future driving fatigue assessment strategies and exclusively unveiled the cockpit safety assessment model — DFR Driver Functional Readiness at this expo, building an in-vehicle active safety system for the next generation.

Traditional Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) generally rely on superficial characteristics such as closing eyes and yawning for judgment, making it difficult to assess the driver's actual driving ability. DFR integrates multi-dimensional inputs such as arousal, cognitive load, sustained vigilance, and distracting behaviors, comprehensively evaluating the driver's current cognitive and action execution capabilities, redefining the overall functional readiness level of the driver for safe driving and taking over the vehicle, and outputting DFR Level 0-3 graded closed-loop intervention strategies.

Based on the dual-main layout of Intelligent Driving and Intelligent Cockpit, Youjia Innovation actively explores the collaboration paradigm between cockpit and ADAS systems, conducts technical seminars around intervention timing, intervention strategies, etc., promoting efficient linkage between Intelligent Driving and Smart Cockpit systems, releasing greater whole-vehicle safety value.

In addition, for high-risk driving scenarios such as drunk driving, Youjia Innovation simultaneously launched a driver drunk driving status detection solution. This solution builds a driver's personal sober behavior baseline, integrating DMS visual characteristics such as eye behavior and head posture, as well as whole-vehicle driving condition data reflected by the vehicle CAN bus. By comparing with the sober baseline and combining risk assessment models, it identifies driving ability impairment caused by alcohol.

Overseas Version BamBam Debuts in Europe, Creating a Cockpit Agent That Understands Users Better

Solidifying in-vehicle full-domain safety capabilities is just the beginning; cockpit experience is becoming a core decision point for European consumers purchasing vehicles, and the industry AI wave has also fully entered the new stage of agents. Facing this industrial transformation, Youjia Innovation showcased the cockpit large model butler BamBam overseas version, which completed European localization adaptation, for the first time at this expo, and performed real vehicle demonstration on-site. Unlike traditional voice assistants, BamBam, relying on in-vehicle perception and large model capabilities, can recognize the status of occupants, think autonomously and execute complex tasks, providing users with a more proactive and personalized cockpit experience.

Overseas Customers Experience AI Butler BamBam On-Site

Currently, BamBam has broken the boundaries of human, vehicle, home, and office scenarios, achieving seamless collaboration of multi-terminal agents, creating a coherent intelligent experience for users across all scenarios. Under business travel office scenarios, relying on AI logical reasoning and multimodal interaction, users can handle complex tasks such as email replies and booking flights and hotels in the car through natural voice; in the homecoming scenario, a voice command can remotely wake up smart home devices at home; the immersive entertainment scenario can provide interactive game capabilities, enriching fragmented time for waiting and resting in the car.

Overseas Version BamBam Business Travel Office Scenario

Based on the three major application scenarios, the overseas version of BamBam has added the in-vehicle target recognition and interaction function based on driver's line of sight this time. Relying on driver line of sight tracking and external environment recognition capabilities, BamBam can perform information interaction and auxiliary explanation on road targets in the driver's gaze area, for example, introducing and explaining buildings along the way.

With the continuous iteration and evolution of VLM technology, BamBam will completely break the functional boundaries of the mass production stage of vehicle models, dynamically optimize service strategies based on user behavior profiles and usage feedback, and create a highly personalized driving experience. At the same time, anticipate user potential needs, achieving the leap from "people finding functions" to "services arriving proactively". At the level of added value, shift from focusing on IQ to considering both IQ and EQ, perceive passenger emotional states through affective computing, output anthropomorphic and empathetic interactive feedback, creating a smart cockpit space with more human touch and better understanding of users.

Full-Stack Product Matrix Showcased, Continuously Deepening European Market Layout

In addition to large models and active safety technologies, Youjia Innovation also brought a full-stack product matrix to InCabin Europe 2026, which also gained widespread attention from the industry. The iPilot 4 Lite assisted driving domain controller, iCabin 1X DMS all-in-one machine, OMS camera, etc., exhibited this time, cover full-scenario needs from assisted driving and in-vehicle, and all products are guided by compliance and implementation as the core R&D direction, providing usable, practical, and easy-to-use solutions for global customers.

As of the first half of this year, Youjia Innovation has cumulatively achieved mass production cooperation with more than 40 automobile companies, and steadily entered the overseas 2.0 "Steering Direct Navigation" stage, directly facing overseas Tier 1 suppliers to output full-stack solutions. While continuously deepening the European market, the company is also actively expanding emerging markets such as India, with overseas project types and cooperation modes continuously enriching. The mature mass production products such as iCabin 1 series DMS software and hardware integration shown at this expo have been equipped on multiple export models and sold to multiple places such as the European Union, Australia, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Dubai, Turkey, etc.
