  • Driver monitoring systems hold key to improved safety

Safety bodies around the world are recommending or enforcing the inclusion of DMS as part of the vehicle’s safety features, with the focus on reducing accidents related to driver fatigue or distraction.

Australia-based Seeing Machines has been researching and developing DMS technology since 2000 and has thousands of DMS units working in off-road heavy mining vehicles and on-road heavy trucks. It is the first company to supply a system for a production car, with a DMS solution in the Cadillac CT6 Super Cruise system from General Motors.

Automotive Industries (AI) asked Nick DiFiore, SVP and General Manager of Automotive, Seeing Machines, whether DMS are gaining recognition for both driver assistance and safe autonomy.

AI then asked Kevin Tanaka, Senior Director of Marketing, Automotive, Seeing Machines, how the company is responding to OEMs’ growing demand for safety solutions for drivers.
