The Israeli company develops and markets two products based on computer vision AI driver monitoring systems.
Israeli auto-tech company Cipia Vision has filed a draft prospectus for an IPO on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). "Globes" was the first to report back in March that Cipia was planning a public offering in Tel Aviv.

Cipia Vision (formerly Eyesight Technologies), develops and markets two products based on computer vision AI driver monitoring systems. The systems monitor driver behavior through cameras and sensors focusing on the face of the driver and the cabin. One product targets individual drivers and the second product targets vehicle fleet managers.

Just the start of the auto revenue. Sure will be alot higher by January :)

Hopefully a few wins announced aswell by then.

If Waymo is the customer then they added 250 cars.

The Cupertino tech giant has the third-largest fleet of autonomous test cars in California behind Waymo and GM Cruise, which stand at 615 and 201 cars, respectively. While GM Cruise held steady over the past two months, Waymo added 250 vehicles to its roster. Both increased driver numbers, with Waymo tacking on 373 drivers and GM Cruise adding 102.

Apple reported three collisions during the period compared to GM Cruise's 153 and Waymo's 111 accidents. Driving hours and disengagements, or events that require a driver to take the reins, were not included in the macReports rundown. Apple has yet to test a driverless platform on public roads.

Apple's efforts in the self-driving car market have been widely reported, but the company's motivation in the space remains unknown.

Whispers of the initiative, dubbed "Project Titan," began to circulate in 2014, with rumors pointing to a plan that would result in a branded "Apple Car." At one point, the Project Titan team had over 1,000 employees working on various projects, but work was put on hold in late 2016 after development roadblocks led to disagreements in Apple's upper ranks.

Wonder if they are using DMS?

This means that Apple has added one self-driving car and 16 drivers since May this year. Apple has been expanding its autonomous vehicle test since it was granted a permit from the California DMV in April 2017, enabling it to test its self-driving technology on public roads in the state. Beginning in early 2018, multiple sources reported on the number of vehicles in Apple's fleet, which steadily expanded throughout that year.

Each of Apple's testing vehicles is equipped with the company's in-development autonomous driving software, along with advanced LiDAR equipment and an array of cameras to detect the vehicle's surroundings. The actual cars are Lexus RX450h sports utility vehicles and must have safety drivers inside of them, since, unlike rival companies that are self-driving technology, Apple's permit still does not include driverless testing.

LG also has a way to watch over the driver and learn his or her behavior. This is called the driver monitoring system (of course). It claims that this can sense fatigue or concentration levels, which can prevent an inattentive user from continuing to drive. The system is so advanced that it can apparently do its job even if the driver is wearing a mask.

The company says that its camera solutions are being supplied to various automakers, and that its technology can be easily integrated with in-car software such as infotainment systems. While such features usually debut on luxury vehicles, they will eventually be cheap enough to be equipped on mass-market rides.

Trend No. 2: Additional safety and autonomous driving features

Not all cars are made equal, especially when tailored for certain markets. But government regulations are closing the standard safety feature gap to ensure consumer safety. For example, in 2019, the Indian government mandated active and passive safety features installed in all vehicle models sold in its country. In order to add these safety features to low- and mid-tier models, automakers need to add more sensors to sense the environment within and around a vehicle.

You’ll find a great example of this trend in rearview cameras. They were only available on luxury models 10 years ago but are now a standard safety feature for most new vehicles; it’s hard to find a new car without it. Another example is driver monitoring systems, which are also increasing in popularity. So if history repeats itself, I wouldn’t be surprised to see widespread adoption of more advanced safety features.

Advanced safety features are a part of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Initially known for cruise control, ADAS have morphed into so much more, taking sensors on vehicles to a whole new level in order to support features such in-cabin monitoring, blind-spot detection, lane departure warning, parking assistance – even the latest autonomous driving technology.

Buried deep in the 2,700-page bipartisan infrastructure bill is a provision that mandates all cars manufactured from 2027 onwards be equipped with a drunk driver monitoring system, in the hopes of ending a behavior that results in about 10,000 deaths in the U.S. every year. If passed with this provision, the bill would give a firm release date to a research program the federal government and an automotive industry group have collaborated on for more than a decade.

Borg Fleet Management are responsible for the logistics and the upkeep of internal vehicles, with over 300 trucks in the fleet including late model Volvo FH18, and 17 dedicated logging trucks with B-double trailers. Borg Fleet is heavily invested in driver safety, with Mix Telematics running alongside Guardian Seeing machines for managing driver fatigue and distractions.

As of 2020, Borg Fleet Management have invested in three new weighbridges for increased output and loading capacity. The goal was to provide a weighbridge to service 36.5 metre freight combinations, reduce weighbridge transit time, increase accuracy of weighing and future proof the set up for possible automation at a later date.

Overall emissions are reduced through an internal fleet department, maintaining, and upgrading truck and plant to ensure all transportation is to the highest standard. Not only is this adding to a sustainable infrastructure, but improves on driver safety.

But still pops up.....
Driving carries a certain amount of risk at the best of times. Even when the road is clear and a driver is at their most alert, distractions like mobile phones and points of interest outside a vehicle can lead to a crash – sometimes fatal.

MiX Telematics, in partnership with Seeing Machines, is proud to introduce Distracted Driving and Fatigue Detection. Advanced sensing technology by Guardian, a Seeing Machines solution, use patented detection algorithms to recognise signs of inattention and fatigue by tracking a driver’s face, eyes and eyelids. Once detected, the system signals the driver by:

Generating an in-cab sound.
Activating seat vibrators.
These two actions are proven to bring drivers back to an alert state, helping to ensure they arrive safety at their destination, trip after trip.

“We believe that monitoring the driver and understanding that they are actually in control when they need to be is also a key in our system where others may have different approaches,” Andersson says.

Zenseact uses a combination of cameras and an innovative capacitive steering wheel to monitor whether the driver is awake and in control of their car. This allows Zenseact’s software to step in at critical points if the driver falls asleep or has a medical emergency.
Of course, this kind of monitoring has its detractors, but Andersson is quick to assuage any misconceptions about privacy and data storage.

Janette Fennell, President, Kids and Car Safety: “Since 1990, more than 1,000 children have died in a hot car. Kids and Car Safety is calling on the Senate to adopt the language that has already passed in the House INVEST in America Act to protect unattended children from hot car deaths and injuries. This requires an occupant detection and alert system that covers the entire passenger compartment. Unfortunately, the Senate bill does not require occupant detection. Without detection, a system will not prevent the majority of hot car deaths and injuries. We must detect to protect.”

Jason Levine, Executive Director, Center for Auto Safety: “There is little question our nation is long overdue for critical updates to our infrastructure especially when it comes to vehicle safety and the rising tide of preventable car crash deaths, now numbering 40,000 per year. The most comprehensive mechanism to reverse these crash deaths is employing existing technology like crash avoidance systems, automatic emergency braking, and driver monitoring systems. An active and data driven recall system that quickly discovers defects and ensures effective repairs should also be a primary goal of the auto safety community. Far too many have suffered from inadequate safety regulations like the 1967 seatback standard and the completely out of date 5-star crash ratings. With the Senate infrastructure discussions finally emerging from closed door meetings we are looking forward to a robust legislative process, that includes the House of Representatives, which provides as much safety as possible for every driver, passenger, and pedestrian in America.”

GAC Group said its first joint project with tech giant Huawei would be a “smart SUV” with mass production targeted by the end of 2023.

The medium to large size, pure electric SUV would have Level 4 autonomous driving capability.

“GAC Group embraces and encourages extensive technological innovation in its vehicles, and Huawei is a global leader in many types of technology. This strategic cooperation will allow them to build a new generation of intelligent vehicles and digital platforms,” the pair said in a joint statement.

“This SUV and multiple other future models will utilise GAC’s GEP.30 chassis platform and Huawei’s computing and communication architecture as well as carrying “Huawei’s full stack of intelligent vehicle solutions”.

Since signing a strategic cooperation agreement in 2017, GAC and Huawei have worked together on intelligent connected electric vehicle technology.

In September 2020 in Guangzhou, the two firms signed an agreement to further deepen cooperation, with a focus on computing and communication architecture in accordance of the development trend towards ‘software-heavy’ vehicles.

GAC Motor aims to produce an entirely electrified lineup of vehicles by 2025.

GAC and Huawei plan to produce eight models together.

Road accidents are not uncommon in Malaysia. Every festive season, the number of accidents skyrocket, with a handful of them involving trucks. According to a study done by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros), from 2007 to 2011, most crashes were caused by risky driving and fatigue. In fact, fatigue accounted for 9.9% of the crashes involving lorries and 7.9% of the crashes involving buses.

Seeing Machines, a technology start-up that emerged from the Australian National University, decided to come up with a technology that could intervene in such events. It developed an artificial intelligence-driven solution that tracks the driver’s eye movements and facial expressions for signs of fatigue and distraction to keep the driver safe on the road.

Max Verberne, general manager of aftermarket at Seeing Machines, tells Digital Edge that the solution, aptly named Guardian, was initially developed when the company saw a gap in the mining industry, as miners tend to succumb to fatigue on the job. Over the years, demand for the technology has grown, expanding to automotive, commercial fleets, rail and even the aviation industry.
