Seems like there's functional overlap between segmentation models and the autofocus algorithms developed by Canon and Sony for their high-end cameras.

The Canon R1 for example will not only continually track a particular object even if partially occluded but will also pre-focus on where it predicts the object will be when it emerged from being totally hidden. It can also be programmed by the user to focus on a particular face to the exclusion of all else.
