1 DENSO 2017-now Member Purpose: By monitoring driving conditions
such as road conditions, driver input and the
state of the vehicle, sensing technology
contributes to advanced automated driving
technology. For example, it supports
advanced safety systems such as adaptive
cruise control systems that maintain a
constant distance from the preceding
automobile, collision avoidance assist systems
 that predict collisions with automobiles and
objects ahead and brake the vehicle
accordingly, and lane keeping assist systems
that recognize white lines and help drivers
stay in the middle of the lane.
My contribution: Creat the algorithm to
monitor driver status
Grant: not-decided, depend on the results of
each step.

elderly people
Reference: YouTube
Grant expected: 3 million USD
My contribution: create the algorithm for
advanced driver assistance system (ADAS).
3 OPERA 2017-now Member Purpose: buid the ADAS system for reducing
the vehicle accident
Grant: depend on the investment from the
company (there are more than 10 companies
join it up until now)
My contribution: building the algorithm for
detecting the driver drowsiness
4 TOYOTA 2014-2017 Member Purpose: Building the ADAS system to
prevent the accident in case of cognitive
distraction.
Grant: 162,396 USD
