Idea
A modular AI platform providing real-time conversational driver assistance using scene-aware generative models for automotive manufacturers and ADAS developers
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper presents SC-ADAS, a novel framework that integrates large language models with vision-to-text and structured function calling to enable real-time, interpretable driver assistance. Unlike prior ADAS solutions, it supports multi-turn, context-aware dialogue grounded in live sensor data without requiring model fine-tuning. The modular design allows adaptive, natural language interaction and driver-confirmed control in simulated environments.
Market Size (TAM)

Research Paper Overview
Scene-Aware Conversational ADAS with Generative AI for Real-Time Driver Assistance
Summary
This paper introduces SC-ADAS, a modular framework integrating Generative AI components such as large language models, vision-to-text interpretation, and structured function calling to enable real-time, interpretable, and adaptive driver assistance. It supports multi-turn dialogue grounded in visual and sensor context, allowing natural language recommendations and driver-confirmed ADAS control without model fine-tuning. Implemented in the CARLA simulator, SC-ADAS demonstrates feasibility of combining conversational reasoning, scene perception, and modular ADAS control.
