CB - Smarteye Volvo Gentex12 Mar 2025 13:20
getting annoying to see smarteye move into the rear view mirror when we were promised we would leap years ahead of the competition. incredible really that smarteye are announcing car brands & we’ve announced nothing. well done see, these strategic decisions to stay under the radar & let our tech do the talking is working wonders for our share price.
volvo has launched the #es90. details of the #dms have also been announced by smart eye, which states: "inside, smart eye’s dual-camera #driver #monitoring #system is working behind the scenes to ensure drivers stay alert and engaged. with two strategically placed infrared cameras, this system tracks eye movement, head position, and drowsiness cues." the feature set declared for the dms is #eyegaze, #headpose and #drowsiness, but no mention is made of visual #distraction. perhaps this comes later via an ota update? volvo cars is welcome to comment below.
the es90 is the next model launched using the nvidia drive orin soc and based on the volvo #spa2 architecture that will be rolled out steadily to the whole volvo portfolio. volvo is one of the automakers split across nvidia and qualcomm, with nvidia socs used for driving functions, and qualcomm for the #digital****pit.
smart eye has stated this is a dual-optical path driver and cabin monitoring design. the declaration of "two strategically placed infrared cameras" is assumed to mean the cabin camera is located in the rear-view mirror (rvm), and based on first visual evidence here, the driver is monitored from the center console, highlighted in red. that is clearly a gentex corporation mirror, so evidence is building of gentex reaching sop with an integrated cabin camera. we will know more when videos of test drives of the es90 start to appear, and visual evidence of the #ir illuminators can be found. rivian has also just launched its #handsfree driving software via an ota update, which might also feature a gentex rvm with integrated ir optical path. again, we will know more as test drive videos surface in the coming weeks.
