The Listening Car: How AI Gives Vehicles a Sixth Sense 
 
 
 | 
 
 
 | 
 
 
Fraunhofer IDMT’s “Hearing Car” equips vehicles with AI-powered microphones, giving them the ability to detect, localize, and classify sounds that cameras and lidar can’t see. From emergency sirens to failing brakes, this multisensory approach boosts safety by enabling cars to react faster in complex environments. Early tests show promising performance even in harsh weather, signaling a future where vehicles don’t just see the road—they truly listen to it.
