Abstract
According to some embodiments, a sound sensor is located in an automotive vehicle cabin. A processor coupled to the sound sensor is configured to receive an acoustic signal sensed by the sound sensor and automatically determine a vehicle event that occurred based on an analysis of the acoustic signal. The determined vehicle event may be, for example, associated with an impact to the vehicle and/or vandalism monitoring while the vehicle is parked. In some embodiments, the processor automatically triggers a vehicle action responsive to the determined vehicle event. The acoustic signal may be analyzed through linear signal processing techniques and/or machine learning performed via analog processing.
