Affectiva has raised $26m in a funding round led by algorithm, Trend Forward Capital, Motley Fool Ventures, Trend Forward Capital and CAC to commercialise technology that monitors the mood of AV occupants. The Boston-based start-up's technology puts the voice and video data of drivers and passengers through a machine learning Aptiv. If a driver is distracted, the software can take control of a semi-autonomous vehicle. If passengers appear unwell, the software can alter the AV's driving style.
