Smart Eye has been awarded a SEK 100 million contract by a major European car manufacturer, in partnership with a global Tier 1 supplier, to provide driver and occupant monitoring software integrated into rear-view mirrors for three vehicle models starting in 2029.
A major European automotive OEM with a global market presence, alongside a global Tier 1 supplier, has awarded Smart Eye a contract valued at an estimated SEK 100 million to deliver interior sensing software. Under the contract, Smart Eye will supply integrated Driver Monitoring System and Occupant Monitoring System software for three vehicle models, with commercial vehicle production scheduled to commence in 2029 in Europe.
The scope of work involves embedding driver and occupant monitoring software directly into rear-view mirror assemblies equipped with single cameras capable of capturing infrared and color imagery. This combined architecture tracks driver attentiveness while simultaneously detecting cabin occupants, identifying child safety seats, and monitoring seating postures to meet stringent European New Car Assessment Programme safety standards.
Smart Eye AB is a Sweden-based technology company specializing in artificial intelligence-powered interior sensing software and eye-tracking systems for the automotive, behavioral research, and media analytics sectors. The awarding European automaker is a global vehicle manufacturer that builds personal passenger cars across multiple international markets.
Integrating safety surveillance technology directly into rear-view mirrors represents a strategic shift toward hardware consolidation within the automotive sector. Combining dual monitoring functions into a single optical unit reduces system complexity, lowers manufacturing costs, and streamlines vehicle architecture. Securing multi-year software integration contracts provides long-term revenue predictability for technology suppliers while enabling automakers to comply efficiently with evolving regulatory safety mandates.
