Smart Eye Secures SEK 100 Million Order for DMS and OMS Technology

Smart Eye Wins New Vehicle Monitoring Order

On August 13, Smart Eye secured a new order to supply its Driver and Occupant Monitoring System technology for three new car models from a major European OEM, working with a global Tier 1 supplier. The Smart Eye Driver and Occupant Monitoring System combines driver monitoring and occupant monitoring functions within software integrated into the vehicle’s rear-view mirror. The camera-based system is designed to assess driver attention while also detecting the presence and position of passengers. These capabilities support safety-related functions including child-seat detection and feet-on-dashboard detection, extending cabin monitoring beyond the driver and helping vehicle manufacturers address a broader range of occupant safety requirements.

Rear-View Mirror Integration Expands Cabin Monitoring

The new vehicle programs will integrate Smart Eye’s DMS and OMS software directly into the rear-view mirror, creating a compact installation for the camera-based monitoring functions. The driver monitoring capability is intended to track attention, while the occupant monitoring function identifies where passengers are positioned inside the cabin. According to the order details, the system can support detection of a child seat as well as situations involving a passenger’s feet on the dashboard. This combination gives the vehicle platform a wider interior sensing capability and demonstrates how camera-based monitoring is being integrated into production vehicle architectures for both driver-focused and occupant-focused safety applications.

2029 Production Creates Long-Term Revenue Opportunity

Production of the three new car models is scheduled to begin in 2029, giving the program a long development and vehicle lifecycle horizon. The order is estimated to generate SEK 100 million in revenue for Smart Eye over the projected lifecycle of the models. The business therefore represents not only a new design win but also a future recurring revenue opportunity tied to vehicle production volumes. The involvement of a major OEM in Europe and a global Tier 1 supplier also highlights the role of integrated driver and occupant monitoring technology in upcoming vehicle programs, where interior sensing is increasingly becoming part of broader safety and vehicle intelligence strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What did Smart Eye announce on August 13?
Smart Eye announced a new order covering its driver and occupant monitoring technology for three new car models from a major European OEM. The program is being delivered in partnership with a global Tier 1 supplier and will integrate DMS and OMS software into the vehicles’ rear-view mirrors. The system will monitor driver attention and detect passenger presence and position. Supported functions include child-seat detection and feet-on-dashboard detection. Production of the three models is scheduled to begin in 2029, while the order is estimated to generate SEK 100 million in revenue over the projected lifecycle.

What functions will the DMS and OMS technology support?
The technology will provide both driver-focused and occupant-focused monitoring capabilities within the vehicle cabin. Driver monitoring is designed to assess attention, while occupant monitoring detects the presence and position of passengers. The system can support functions such as identifying a child seat and detecting when a passenger has their feet on the dashboard. Integrating these capabilities into the rear-view mirror provides a compact location for the camera and software-based monitoring system. The approach expands interior sensing capabilities while supporting safety functions across different passenger and driving situations in future production vehicles.

When will production of the new models begin?
Production of the three new car models covered by the order is scheduled to begin in 2029. The timing indicates that Smart Eye’s technology has been selected for vehicle programs with a long development and production horizon. The company estimates that the order will generate approximately SEK 100 million in revenue over the projected lifecycle of the models. Because the systems are intended for integration into production vehicles, the commercial opportunity is linked to the manufacturing lifecycle of the affected models. The order therefore provides Smart Eye with a future revenue opportunity extending beyond the initial vehicle launch period.
