Interesting..... hope there are some orders to come from it.
As the #automotive DMS market moves rapidly to volume production, YouTube becomes an excellent resource to bypass #NDAs, since we can see what is happening with our own eyes. Shown below is the 2025 Lincoln Motor Company #Aviator, sister of the Ford Motor Company #Explorer, with DMS on the steering column. Superimposed onto the image is the latest Gen2 DMS camera from Magna International. It is a perfect match. Look carefully and we can just make out the camera as well as the illuminators.
When Magna bought Veoneer, it created a DMS center-of-excellence that was mostly overlooked at the time. Clearly there are two DMS design teams active within Magna: the Magna team doing the rear-view mirror, and the Veoneer team still working on the steering column. There is also an interior camera, probably designed by Veoneer, meaning that Magna has all bases covered for #RFQs, with a single optical path solution for #interiorsensing, dual optical path for DMS/CMS, along with an alcohol detection sensor for future #impaired (drunk) driving legislation. The DMS tier-1 base is now rapidly consolidating around Aptiv, Magna, and Valeo in most regions, and the technological barriers to entry are becoming ever higher.
In December 2022, Smart Eye’s broker boasted of "up to 53 design wins” as victory at Ford. Research suggested the win was probably with Bosch as tier-1, likely based on Qualcomm #Snapdragon #Ride and certainly replaced the Veoneer/Seeing Machines DMS win for #BlueCruise in the F-150 and #MachE. But, as the image shows, we can see for ourselves that Magna clearly won the 2025 Explorer/ Aviator.
It is unknown if Ford subsequently decided to dual-source DMS using both Bosch and Magna, or if Ford has now entirely dropped Bosch and reverted to Magna. But we can review videos on YouTube as new models are released in 2024 and 2025 to find clues. However this is perfect lesson of the importance of counting delivery not “design wins.” Delivery comes with a license fee, but “design wins” can (and do) change, which is why this is such a poor metric to measure supplier leadership.
As #IIHS has shown, Ford had the highest performing DMS on the market with the Veoneer/Seeing Machines DMS in the Mach-E. That accolade likely stays with Ford but probably moves to the Explorer/ Aviator. The active #NTSB investigation into a fatal collision of a Mach-E operating on BlueCruise may also focus minds not only at the very top of Ford, but at other U.S. OEMs too, of the imperative of using high performance DMS in partial and conditional automation systems. The pace of technological development for DMS is breath taking; so too the rise in awareness of the role of DMS by regulatory and safety agencies. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/colin-barnden-1081376_automotive-ndas-aviator-activity-7183044727569580034-_-Li/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android
Seeing Machines DMS with Colorado Anschutz Medical
As part of a collaborative project among DSRI, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Swinburne University (Australia), and Seeing Machines, the DSRI team integrated the DMS developed by Seeing Machines into a miniSim and installed it at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
Data was collected from cannabis users prior to and after acute administration of cannabis. The DMS data is being examined to identify ocular measures or eye behaviors that are indicative of impairment. They are looking at what signals allow us to identify who is acutely under the influence of cannabis and whether signals of acute use are consistent between occasional and frequent users.
Alcohol Detection
Sponsored by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), with partner Seeing Machines
In a recent study with IIHS, the team is looking at the ability of DMS vision sensors to identify alcohol impairment while driving. Data collection wrapped up in late 2023, and data is being analyzed.
“This is really a first look at the feasibility of vision-based sensors to differentiate alcohol in driving,” said Tim Brown, director of drugged driving research.
The team is looking at how these visual signals change over the duration of alcohol being in the system following drinking and how that affects driving performance. The primary focus is on visual signals as they relate to blood alcohol content.

CFP & KW, repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth (Goebels) isn't working here, as we can all see your agenda.
Sad life you must have, I suppose this is your therapy..... 'trying to save us all from losing on this investment'. Ha ha ha
Just give yourself a wee break, maybe that would make you feel better?

coldfishpie and kbw (probably the same person), your agenda here is sooo transparent it is actually quite funny to read.
let me think about this...... a 'genuine shareholder' who posts only entirely negative posts damming the company that they have invested in ..... ?
nope, sorry, we are all laughing at you. (except baxter - he is just ****ed off)

Essentially the article states that the previous system (using SEYE eye-tracking) was limited to 40mph. The new upgraded system allows up to 85mph and uses an advanced eye-tracking system (from Seeing Machines) to monitor the driver's attention level. This means the driver can relax more and enjoy the ride.

Nice to see that the long awaited Magna mirror (fitted with a camera) goes into production vehicles very very soon. They expect the technology that is tuned to interact with the human drivers (DMS) will be soon be mandated in the US.
I am pleased to finally hear this.
Glandore,

Part 2
SM has designed Gen3 to play its trump card. The hardware meets type approval and regulations for hashtag#distracted and hashtag#drowsy driving to comply with GSR. But with a 4G modem, every box can still connect to the Guardian service. Thus SM is in the early stages of transitioning to becoming a high-volume software-as-a-service hashtag#SaaS company, ironically just at the very moment its hashtag#automotive DMS business is set to hit volume production.
With GSR coming in to effect, 2024 looks to be the year when DMS finally starts to really happen.

Well worth a read
More thoughts from hashtag#ces2024, this post on Seeing Machines (SM). SM has such a huge tech lead over the competition that it doesn't exhibit on the show floor, instead giving private demonstrations in a suite. I am one of not many people that has actually seen the demo in full, and it was a privilege to be invited in. The company has a vastly different approach to PR and comms than some of its competitors, because the tech speaks for itself.
Case in point: hashtag#Guardian Gen3, which was launched at CES. Put alongside the CAT mining product (DSS) and Guardian Gens 1&2 shows the 20+ years engineering development of SM. Gen3 is a 1-box solution with IR optical path, ECU and 4G modem integrated together. I have held it, it is impressive, and is obviously made by a tier-1 hashtag#EMS manufacturer, probably within the Celestica or Flex families. This is a very serious product which is clearly intended for high volume production and marks a step-change from Gen2.
The first application is "after-manufacture" to meet Europe's hashtag#GSR. When hashtag#OEMs talk about "series-production" it means an assembly line, with vehicles being made in series. Each is built in stages as it progresses down the line, and at the end the finished product rolls off.
"Factory-fit" refers to technology installed on the assembly line. So for automotive, hashtag#DMS could be factory-fitted in the instrument cluster, steering column, or mirror, in a module designed and pre-built by a tier-1. But in commercial vehicles (trucks, busses and coaches) there simply isn't the economy of scale to amortize the engineering costs of integrating the DMS into another module. An exception would be an extremely lean organization with a strategic focus on DMS for commercial vehicles, but the main DMS suppliers are set up for automotive.
The solution? Design, test and validate a 1-box product which is installed after the truck leaves the assembly line ("after-manufacture") but before it leaves the factory. That's what SM has done and that's how Gen3 meets type approval.
This represents a huge shift in supply-chain planning and logistics for SM, and it is assumed the OEM customers will place after-manufacture orders with the EMS provider, which will ship product directly to them. This will take some time to perfect, which is probably why SM is saying the short-term focus for Gen3 is after-manufacture. But give it maybe 12-18 months and the assumption is Gen3 replaces Gen2 as the aftermarket product too.
SM has designed Gen3 to play its trump card. The hardware meets type approval and regulations for hashtag#distracted and hashtag#drowsy driving to comply with GSR. But with a 4G modem, every box can still connect to the Guardian service. Part 2 to follow
Valeo have an excellent arrangement with Multi-modal approach with camera (SeeingMachines), lidar and radar to provide a complete data solution for highly automated driving. Should be a winner.
Lost, in the LinkedIn comments Magna Global Product Director Peter Spencley confirms that they have combined breath analysis along with accurate Seeing Machines DMS to verify/confirm the diver is incapacitated (drunk) which is tge holy grail for upcoming legislation being introduced soon in the USA.
The next comment on LinkedIn was from Seeing Machines board member Peter Brown of Lombard Odier stating- amazing achievement and hard work from everyone at Seeing Machines. Well done.
For me, this confirms beyond doubt that Magna and Seeing Machines will greatly benefit from this breakthrough in preventing drunk driving in the USA as currently there are 10,000 deaths each year which could be prevented.
In time, this should bring great benefits to both Seeing Machines and Magna, but more patience required chaps. GLA cheers
