Technology · In-cabin

The cabin is part of the same scene.

Driver monitoring and in-cabin intelligence are usually handled by a second, smaller network stack that never speaks to the outside perception stack. AREN treats the cabin as another set of input streams in the same model.

The consequence of a single model is that in-cabin state is available to planning and perception decisions, not quarantined in its own module. Driver attention, passenger occupancy, and cabin-originated commands inform the same representation that drives outside-the-vehicle decisions.

This is also a safety posture decision. Cabin inputs that affect vehicle control go through the same arbitration layer as exterior perception. There is one safety contract, not two.
