A Comparative Study on Gesture Recognition Systems for Car Infotainment Systems

With the rapid expansion of novel technologies in the automobile industry, there has been an increase in the number of interaction hardware inside various types of automobiles. This has led to drivers taking their eyes off the road to control the various systems in the automobiles. According to a study, done by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, an average driver is distracted visually and mentally from the road while using an infotainment system for a dangerous span of 40 seconds. We have come up with a review of various proposed gesture recognition systems to solve the problem of driver interacting with the in-car system. Gesture recognition thus opens up the possibility of implementing a Human Vehicle Interaction System for controlling however complex, an infotainment system.
