Narration
“Introducing, Safety Cocoon.”

《One car driving along the center of a highway seen from above, with several white lines coalescing around it. The video turns into CG, and the words “Safety Cocoon” and “Sony’s Sensing Solution for Mobility” appear in white in the center. 》

Narration
“Safety Cocoon expands Sony's sensing technology, by using CMOS image sensors that surpass the human eye, coupled with our portfolio of diverse sensing devices and sensor fusion software.
The in-cabin sensing, the front sensing, and the surround-sensing, create a safe, secure, and comfortable area in every direction, both inside and outside of the vehicle.”

《The title “Safety Cocoon” appears in white in the upper part of the shot.
At the top of the shot, the words “Hardware + Software” appear in white.
At the bottom, the words “Building sophisticated automotive recognition systems” appear in white. 》

《Explaining In-Cabin Sensing.
Cut to the title “Safety Cocoon” and “In-Cabin Sensing” in white at the top of the shot.
In the center of the shot, show CG of the range of sensing inside of the car with the 2D Image Sensor and the iToF Image Sensor.
The word “Hardware” appears in white on the left. Underneath, the words “2D Image Sensor” and “iToF Image Sensor” appear. On the right of the image, the word “Software” appears in white. The words “Sensor Fusion” appear underneath. 》

《Explaining Front Sensing.
Cut to the title “Safety Cocoon” and “Front Sensing” in white at the top of the shot. In the center of the shot, show a CG image of the car and the range of sensing with the camera and with radar and dToF LiDAR in the front.
The word “Hardware” appears in white on the left. Underneath, the words “CMOS Image Sensor (Camera),” “SPAD Depth Sensor (dToF LiDAR),” and “4D Imaging Radar” appear.
On the right, the word “Software” appears. Underneath, the words “Sensor Fusion” appear. 》

《Explaining Surround Sensing.
Cut to the title “Safety Cocoon” and “Surround Sensing” in white at the top of the shot. In the center of the shot, show the image of the car and the range of sensing by the camera and dToF LiDAR.
The word “Hardware” appears in white on the left. Underneath, the words “CMOS Image Sensor (Camera)” and “SPAD Depth Sensor (dToF LiDAR)” appear.
The word “Software” appears on the right, and “Sensor Fusion” appear underneath. 》

《Explaining the concept of the Safety Cocoon.
Cut to an image expressing the concept in three circles.
Inside each circles appears text: “Safety: Protecting you inside your vehicle,” “Security: Object recognition,” and “Comfort: Parking assistance.” The three circles overlap. 》

Narration
“Countless highly sophisticated sensing technologies enfold the car like a cocoon. Safety Cocoon extends our freedom of mobility.”

《A CG image appears, showing the inside of a car and a cocoon encompassing it, expanding from the interior to cover the entire vehicle. 》

Narration
“The in-cabin sensing uses 2D camera images of the interior to recognize the driver's gaze and facial expressions. It is fused with 3D information to instantly access other passengers' physiques, postures, head orientation, and the overall condition of the vehicle's interior space, providing a sense of security for all.”

《Cut to an image of a woman driving a car, with the words ”Security: In-cabin sensing” in white in the center of the shot.
Overlay motion-capture CG to show the positions of the woman’s face, arm, etc. as detected by the sensor. 》
《Overlay motion-capture CG on the 3D in-cabin sensing information of the car’s occupants, and the displayed positions move along with the occupants’ movements. 》

Narration
“The front sensing uses sensor fusion technology to capture a variety of distinctive points, enhancing the object recognition robustness. Dense fog, Backlighting, Rainy nights. In every situation, the system promptly and accurately detects invisible hazards to the human eye, such as the surrounding vehicles, pedestrians, and other obstacles, to ensure a safe driving.”

《The words “Safety: Object recognition” appear in white in the center of the CG of the car driving along the road.
Show the measured values of the inter-vehicle distances with other cars ahead. 》

《Cut to a variety of images of a car window.
Video of a car driving straight with poor visibility ahead due to heavy fog, a car on the highway with poor visibility due to backlight shining in, and a car windshield covered in raindrops impeding visibility ahead. 》

《Change to a scene of a rainy nighttime road, shown from a car. Change to a 3D image made with LiDAR point cloud data, showing the detection of pedestrians crossing in a crosswalk. 》

Narration
“Safety Cocoon also relieves people from parking stress, further enhancing comfort. Sensor fusion of the surround-sensing enables a three-dimensional recognition of roads and signs from highly dense data, which can be applied to many applications, such as parking support.”

《An image of a parking lot appears. The words “Comfort: Parking assistance” appear in white in the center of a shot of a car driving in a parking lot.
Show a 3D image made with point cloud data of the car driving in the parking lot, looking down from above.
Show a car actually driving on part of the CG image of the parking lot from above, with the spots occupied by other vehicles shown in red and open spots in green. 》

Narration
“By joining forces with many partners involved in the field of mobility, Sony will create a safer, more secure and comfortable world of driving.”

《Aerial video showing a highway intersection from above. In the video, there are lines connecting the car driving on the highway to other cars, infrastructure facilities, etc. 》

《The scene changes to video with the CG Safety Cocoon overlaid on a car driving through a city. 》
《Motion-capture CG is overlaid along with the movements of the man driving. 》
《The highway stretches out in a straight line as the car exits. 》

Narration
“Together with you, we are changing the future of mobility with Sony's sensing technology.
Freedom of movement for all. The joy that lies beyond.”

《Scenes of a comfortable car interior play one after another. The face of the man driving the car, the faces of two women laughing together, a woman in the driver’s seat and children in the backseat, a woman driving the car, a woman driving and singing together with a man in the passenger seat, a woman driving and a man in the passenger seat laughing together, a smiling woman and children in the backseat. 》
《The words “Safety Cocoon” and “Sony’s Sensing Solution for Mobility” appear in the center of the image in white. 》

《The music ends. 》
《The video ends with the Sony logo. 》
