Resumen:

En los niveles SAE 2–3, la seguridad de la conducción automatizada depende de que el conductor pueda retomar el control ante una solicitud de traspaso de control, lo que exige estimar su disponibilidad. Aunque existen enfoques unimodales basados en visión o fisiología, suelen ser vulnerables a degradaciones y su comparación es difícil por la asimetría de dimensionalidad y por la falta de análisis de robustez e interpretabilidad. Evaluamos sobre el dataset TD2D, una arquitectura multimodal basada en autocodificadores que proyecta cada modalidad a una representación común y compara fusión latente y fusión tardía frente a baselines unimodales. La fusión a nivel latente con reducción moderada (PCA-100) ofrece el mejor equilibrio entre clases y, mediante inyección de fallos en el latente, se observa que la degradación del vídeo impacta más que la fisiología, sugiriendo dominancia visual. Estos resultados respaldan la fusión multimodal, pero señalan la necesidad de integraciones equilibradas y modelos explicables que permitan auditar la contribución de cada modalidad.
