  As interest in autonomous driving increases, efforts are being made to meet
requirements for the high-level automation of vehicles. In this context, the
functionality inside the vehicle cabin plays a key role in ensuring a safe and
pleasant journey for driver and passenger alike. At the same time, recent
advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled a whole
range of new applications and assistance systems to solve automated problems in
the vehicle cabin. This paper presents a thorough survey on existing work that
utilizes AI methods for use-cases inside the driving cabin, focusing, in
particular, on application scenarios related to (1) driving safety and (2)
driving comfort. Results from the surveyed works show that AI technology has a
promising future in tackling in-cabin tasks within the autonomous driving
aspect.
