From biometrics-based security to in-vehicle payments to HomeLink® vehicle-to-home automation, the future of automotive connectivity is here.
HomeLink®
Control anything from garage doors to thermostats to the music that plays when you walk in the door — all from inside the vehicle. With our new HomeLink Connect® app, cloud- and RF-based home automation tools can be flawlessly integrated right into your vehicle's center console, rearview mirror, overhead, visor and more.
Integrated Toll Module® (ITM®)
Toss the toll transponders cluttering the windscreen. With Integrated Toll Module (ITM), toll payments in North America become effortless. In the not-so-far future, imagine seamlessly and securely paying for gasoline, powering up at charging stations, cashing out at drive-thrus, and more.
In fact, Gentex has partnered with PayByCar™, an innovative provider of transactional vehicle solutions, to expand ITM compatibility by allowing an increasing number of drivers to pay for gas and other essentials directly from their vehicle.
Mobile Communications
Gentex camera-based features turn the vehicle into a mobile communications center, for making a phone call, conducting a meeting, or simply capturing the moment.
DRIVER MONITORING SYSTEM
Gentex's mirror-integrated, camera-based driver monitoring system (DMS) can monitor alertness, gaze location, behavior, and driver readiness for autopilot return of control. The mirror is an ideal and discreet, cross-platform DMS packaging location.
Cabin Monitoring
Next-gen systems must not only monitor the driver, but also the passengers and the entire vehicle cabin. Gentex's cabin monitoring system incorporates passenger activity by tracking:
- Occupant detection
- Passenger posture and behavior
- Objects left behind
- Restraint optimization
Biometrics
With new connectivity comes new security protocols for authenticating cloud-based features. Enter Gentex biometrics: where near-infrared emitters, iris-scanning cameras, and system-level intelligence opens a world of opportunity for automakers. With leading biometric partners by our side, Gentex is changing the game in vehicle security, comfort and personalization.
In-Cabin Sensing
Keep autonomous and ride-share vehicles operational and passengers safe with in-cabin sensing units that use a variety of sensing methods to detect smoke, vape, VOCs, alcohol, and airborne contaminants.
