Automotive Applications

Driving innovation in passenger safety.

The risks are real — and the statistics startling — for vehicular heatstroke, which takes the lives of children and pets left in vehicles that rapidly rise to dangerous temperatures on even mild days. Keeping loved ones safe goes beyond the home when Origin’s WiFi Sensing and Child Presence Detection application are integrated into a vehicle’s WiFi platform.

Automakers can do more with WiFi Sensing.

Current ultrasonic sensors and radar-based alert systems are challenged with the need for line-of-sight detection and expensive hardware that may not properly detect a lack of motion or trigger an emergency warning. Origin WiFi Sensing uses existing signals from the vehicle’s WiFi to detect presence and movement. When paired with in-car alarm systems and mobile notification apps, drivers are quickly and accurately alerted when children and pets are left unattended in the vehicle.

What Origin can do. For you.

Lifesaving presence protection.

Origin’s patented, proven technology fuels innovative applications for whole-car safety. Our non-line-of-sight sensing offers protection in all areas of the car — footwells, trunk, and all rows — to help protect loved ones on the road.

Seat belt reminders

WiFi Sensing can detect human motion in rear seats to trigger seat belt reminders, reducing false alarms associated with traditional weight-based sensors. 

The shift from smart to intelligent — at home, at work, and in the car.
