Smart Surface of Steering Wheel Based on Triboelectric Nanogenerator and Artificial Intelligence in Driving...

Real-time driving monitoring systems can use self-powered sensors based on artificial intelligence (AI) and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Here, we created a TENG-based self-powered intelligent steering wheel that can detect hand gripping. The TENG serves as the steering wheel's smart surface. In addition to monitoring the steering wheel in real time, the intelligent steering wheel reacts quickly. The TENG sensor can detect hazardous conditions and lower processing demands while retaining excellent identification accuracy when used in conjunction with machine learning. Additionally, the TENG sensor may now offer an accurate and affordable monitoring solution for smart driving thanks to the integration of AI.
