MUMBAI, India, Aug. 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517067774 A) filed by Netradyne, Inc. on July 16, 2025, for In-Vehicle Thermal Distress Mitigation.

Inventors include Thornton, Matthew; Yedla, Arvind; Rich, Philippe; Yanamala, Suresh Babu; Dublish, Vivek; and Campos, Michael.

The application for the patent was published on August 21, 2026, under issue no. 34/2026.

Abstract: A computing device (120) can monitor an in-vehicle temperature of a vehicle (110). The computing device can receive one or ore images (302, 304, 306) of an environment within the vehicle (110) depicting a driver of the vehicle. The computing device can determine the in-vehicle temperature of the vehicle satisfies a temperature threshold. The computing device can execute a machine learning model (140) using at least the one or more images to detect the driver is in a thermal distress state. The computing device can generate a message in the vehicle requesting driver input. The computing device can generate a real-time video feed (301) depicting the driver to a remote computing system. By limiting the image processing to instances in which the in-vehicle temperature satisfies the temperature threshold, the computing device can increase the accuracy of the machine learning model and reduce the frequency of thermal-distress related alerts.
