located in the roof bows.
The Assistant detects interactions of the vehicle
occupants via the cameras. It interprets the natu-
ral hand, head and body movements of the vehi- cle occupants either in context or at their explicit
r
equest. The Assistant can thus automatically trig-
ger vehicle interior functions and assist appropri-
ately to the situation. 1
