So RedEye makes an estimate for Smarti AIS (aftermarket). Keeping in mind the total sold AIS is ZERO. Are they high?
Due to a seemingly high demand and good traction for Smart Eye’s solution, we estimate about 10.000 vehicles to
include AIS in 2022 and 20.000 for 2023. This would imply Smart Eye sales of about SEK 35m in 2022 and SEK 70m
in 2023.

Seeing-2020, most large fleet operators still dont have a DMS product in pipeline, exception is the Geotab(perhaps the largest telematics company). Tells you how hard a market it is.
Very little is talked about Geotab and Seeing Machines tieup.

As far as the size of geotab is concerned

i am hoping for Verizon Connect to be next one to have a deal with SEE for DMS
“Our cabovers are all Volvos – just for driver comfort, reliability, the safety features and the after sales service we receive from Truck Centre WA.”
Along with the standard safety features, Trojan opts for Volvo’s additional safety package that includes the lane departure warning system, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance assistance and blind spot detection.
For the past 18 months, all trucks coming into the fleet have also been equipped with the Guardian Seeing Machine as an added safety feature.

Wow!! a treasure trove of SM videos.https://vimeo.com/user150999795i am simply blown away by the accuracy and sensitivity of the gaze tracking in https://vimeo.com/609496916. How much SM technology has developed in the last few years! Once you have billions of km of data and a great engineering team its no wonder. i wonder if anyone can even come close to the SM gaze tracker, last time i checked a couple of years back it was far ahead of competition, and now its simply on a different levelAlso the guardian live product! great work PMG Rod and the team

Nice find terry!
i noticed mention of 60 frames per sec and VCSEL . Just to point out SEE and AMS have a collaboration for this
https://ams.com/vcsel
1.3-megapixel camera operating at 60 frames per second, with infrared vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) that invisibly illuminate the driver, allowing the system to see at night and to see the driver’s eyes through dark sunglasses.
i am quite intrigued with the announcements from Magna. Together they seem to be parts of a puzzle -- gearing up for a specific high volume ADAS manufacturing. Wonder who could be the customer (Apple)? Someone who needs the SW to be owned in house. i feel Magna gonna try its luck with Veoneer and place another bid, if indeed its part of the puzzle.
May 27, 2021 -- has officially started construction on its new facility in Spartanburg County. A division of Magna International, one of the world’s largest suppliers in the automotive industry, Magna employs more than 2,400 South Carolinians.
July 23, 2021 -- Magna to acquire Veoneer
July 28, 2021 -- LG Electronics (LG) and Magna International Inc. (Magna) today signed the transaction agreement which establishes a joint venture between the two companies.
Lenné argues that a camera-based approach would be far more successful than a breath or touch-based approach because BAC levels can rise within minutes. Someone could theoretically down a bunch of shots immediately before getting behind the wheel and it wouldn’t show up on a reading for several minutes. Or they could get wasted while driving. And BAC detection doesn’t help at all when it comes to drug-impaired driving.
“We’re trying to assess what’s going on in someone’s head, and that’s really different from having a forward-facing radar that’s trying to look at what’s 30 meters in front of you,” he said. “You’re trying to interpret whether or not this person is safe to drive. So it’s a really difficult technical problem to solve. Our company is 21 years old. Smart Eye has been around for over 10 years. Whilst the market size has increased dramatically, it’s a hard problem to solve as a new entrant.”
Newcomers will face competition from established and large Tier 1 suppliers like Seeing Machines and Smart Eye, a Swedish computer vision company that people familiar with the industry say works with Ford (Ford did not confirm or deny this). IndustryARC also names major players as Faurecia, Aptiv PLC, Bosch, Denso, Continental AG and others. But new players are finding their way into the scene, like Israel-based Cipia, formerly Eyesight Technology, and Sweden-based Tobii Tech.
Nice to see SEE in Tech Crunch finally
