Cabin Presence Node

Child and pet presence and cabin occupancy — sensed by the cabin itself.

What it takes

A feasibility kit with an honest path to validation.

Child and pet presence and cabin occupancy — sensed by the cabin itself. This kit deploys the LatentField 2.0 runtime for the Automotive world: an ESP32-S3 WiFi-CSI mesh feeds the same pipeline (compressed sensing, PCA + MVE anomaly manifold, radio-tomographic field, compartments) that was validated on 312 GB of public research data. It runs locally or in a container, pairs to your account with a claim-code PIN, and reports in plain language. Capabilities: presence, breathing_rate, motion_level, occupancy_estimate. Explore them all at /v/automotive.
