So the quote from Gentex should more accurately read;)
We found out that the live demonstrator was
using Seeing Machines technology but the company was keen to point out that it is open to
other DMS software suppliers 'because we might not choose to use the best and cheapest and we may select a system that has unresolved Glare issues'. Gentex’s other advanced products included iris scanning for both
the automotive and aviation sectors."
Add this into the mix

REAR VISION SYSTEM WITH EYE-TRACKING (Gentex)
So rather than having a fixed view of a camera in the rear view mirror, it moves the image as you move your head - just like a mirror would!
A rear vision system for a vehicle includes a camera mounted with the vehicle and capturing a field of view rearward of the vehicle, a rearview mirror including a display substrate thereon, and an image sensor directed toward an interior of the vehicle and configured to capture image data of an object. The system further includes a controller in communication with the camera and receiving a first video image of the first size corresponding with the field of view, with the image sensor to determine a position of the object within the image data, and with the display substrate to present a portion of the first video image thereon of a size less than the first size. The portion of the first video image is selected to correspond with an expected portion of the field of view based on the determined position of the object.
[0003] According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a rear vision system for a vehicle includes a camera mounted with the vehicle and capturing a field of view of a first area rearward of the vehicle, a rearview mirror including a display substrate thereon, and an image sensor directed toward an interior of the vehicle and configured to capture image data of an object. The system further includes a controller in communication with the camera and receiving a first video image of the first area corresponding with the field of view and in communication with the image sensor to determine a position of the object within the image data. The controller is further in communication with the display substrate to present a sub-area of the first area on the display substrate. The sub-area is selected to simulate a reflected image from the field of view to the object by the substrate based on the determined position of the object.

Feb 6 127: Augmenting Human Drivers, With Seeing Machines, Affectiva and Gentex
With fully autonomous vehicles mired in the trough of disillusionment, the industry's focus is shifting towards shorter-term opportunities to use sensor and AI technology to improve human driving performance. To understand where this trend is going, we invited three companies working in this area to stop by our car-based recording studio on the CES floor: we spoke with Nick DiFiore from Seeing Machines, Rana el Kaliouby of Affectiva and Neil Boehm of Gentex. In this free-flowing conversation, we discuss everything from driver monitoring to emotional recognition to the future of rear-view mirrors, all with an eye toward Alex's paradigm of augmented driving.
JC, not sure tbh. However one of the few snippets of "news" in the Cenkos report was his view that SM are working with Gentex, he does mention Iris scanning but not directly in reference to SM
"Gentex
Gentex had a much larger stand this year and was for the first time demonstrating a DMS system. This was seamlessly integrated into a rear-view mirror and the camera and IR sources were completely hidden behind the mirror glass.
We found out that the live demonstrator was
using Seeing Machines technology but the company was keen to point out that it is open to
other DMS software suppliers. Gentex’s other advanced products included iris scanning for both
the automotive and aviation sectors."

S2020,
Are you thinking the Gentex Iris detection product is SEE tech ? It would certainly need some Glare reduction algorithm for the application described.
GENTEX CORP
USER AUTHENTICATION ACTIVATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS 2019-06-18
A vehicle occupant identification system includes a detection system configured to detect that an individual is proximate a vehicle. The detection system is configured to detect the proximity of an individual by detecting at least one of a door unlock, a key fab, a door opening, a door closing, a seated passenger, and an individual proximate the vehicle. A controller is operably coupled with the detection system and is configured to activate an identification system. The identification system includes an imager configured to illuminate an eye of an occupant of the vehicle and capture at leastone image of an iris and a pupil of the eye. A processor is configured to compare the at least one image of the iris of the eye of the occupant with previously stored iris information to identify theoccupant and activate the vehicle.

JC, this Gentex video from linkedin mentions "iris scan" around 30 secs

Probably way off and will make Colin smile but here goes.
Semicast made reference to the A team and Mr Dee not Tee?? something about 'handsome'??I don't have the quote but Face aka Faceman was the pretty boy of the bunch so that could lead to this recent SEE patent which is more focused around greater focus on facial feature detection than the pure Eye/head feature/position detection that most other patents closely focus upon. It has a 9 and a 40 reference which are copied below.

When i last over researched GM about 6 months ago i guess. Found an article on the take up rates. I prob would have posted it on here.
Terry....thanks.
Where did you get the 50% number from? Not doubting it but my powers of research are obviously limited as I couldn't find any numbers when looking.
Cheers
Hopefully will be by 2023?
GM’s new vehicle digital architecture, which will be first deployed on the 2020 Cadillac CT5 sedan, is designed to handle vast amounts of data that connected cars will generate as vehicles become more autonomous.
In fact, the new architecture can process 4.5 terabytes of data per hour, which equates to about 1 million pop songs. That may seem excessive but will soon become essential as cars exchange more and more data with various in-vehicle and on-road sensors and information sources such as video, lidar and traffic and safety updates from road authorities.
The platform, which will come as standard globally on most vehicles within GM’s line-up by 2023, will also enable smartphone-like software updates via mobile networks through which can remotely upgrade the car, from boosting fuel economy to fixing any bugs.
Such innovations are great for the consumer and also represent a smart move by GM—a report by Strategy& forecasts global connected car revenues will reach $155.9 billion in 2022, with auto industry profits shifting from hardware to software and from products to services.

It was an option and started off about 10% take up.
Then grew to about 50% take up as it grew popular.
Not seen press on new models if standard or optional? Or seen any costs relating to it.
Thanks Esc. It would be useful to actually get the number of units supplied to GM but don't see it after skiing through the last annual report. For me in an urban area that rarely drives on highway not much use.
If GM offered as standard package then that's a game changer.
It's also a fairly expensive option...I read in the past $2,500 for Supercruise and $3,100 for driver assist package.
Yes, and available in most GM models by 2023.
Terry....I think the critical word is "offer" .
We know that it's been an available extra in the CT6 so my understanding is that a consumer can by the car and not take Supercruise. Is my understanding correct?
Assuming the same in new roll outs that it's an optional?
Correction. GM Digital Vehicle Platform link replaces CT5 link.

I thought the Sunaru /GM thing didnlt sound right and, looking into it, there was some model swapping way back when GM held circa 20% of Fuji HI, the parent. It has since sold all it's holding and has nothing to do with Subaru. So why 9? Well, Holden wasn't in the list and they qualify.
"We expect it will inaugurate the next generation of Cadillac’s Super Cruise technology, which is the most advanced (and, oddly, the most underreported) semiautonomous driving system available on the market."

Exactly DND. But unfortunately so far they have shown absolutely no appetite to decouple DMS from Supercruise.
Hi terrym,
You are missing my point I think. Supercruise is only useful for Motroway driving. Hence of no use in its current state to many of the GM models who spend most of their time in urban or country driving on "normal" roads.
SEE is only a part of the overall Super Cruise system & relates to driver monitoring which is not a matter of wether or not the vehicle is on a divided highway or not.
I would be hopeful that even if GM do not extend SC throughout the range & brands they would realise the benefits of driver monitoring and act accordingly.
Glandore
With the extra 70,000 added its now 200.000 Miles.
https://supercruise-map-viewer.cp.gm.com/
When you put it into perspective that the uk has 2173 miles of motorways in the whole of UK
Hi terrym,
Yes - but still only "compatible divided highways ".
And after 2020 for other GM Models could be very slow roll-out based on how slow they are extending to the Cadillac Range.
As mentioned before I have little concern after 2022 as Auto should be increasing exponentially from then based on all the timeframes we know.
In the meantime Fleet, from a very low base, will be the critical cash generator with a hopeful much delayed contribution form Aviation along the way.
