11. LingoFit and Self-driving Vehicles
• McKinsey estimates that by 3032 at most 30% of
new vehicles (~30M) will be autonomous -> 3% of
the total 1.2B vehicles on the road
• LingoFit is complementary even to Level 4 self-
driving vehicles, where the driver needs to stay
alert and supervise
• How does the car know you are watching the
road and ready to take control if needed?
Or asleep?
• LingoFit to process biosensors data to
determine stress, fatigue, health issues
and provide medical advice
