US Patent 11776332 In-vehicle sensing module for monitoring a vehicle

A sensing module for monitoring a cabin of a vehicle includes an environmental sensor configured to sense organic compounds in ambient air of the cabin and a particle sensor configured to detect particulate matter in the ambient air. The sensing module further includes a controller operably connected to the environmental sensor and the particle sensor and configured to receive sensor signals from the environmental sensor and the particle sensor and to transmit data to a remote server via the Internet. The sensing module has a housing configured to mount to a windshield of the vehicle. The housing supports the environmental sensor, the particle sensor, and the controller.
