Smart Eye (OTC:SMTEF) won design contracts to supply its Driver Monitoring System software to two vehicle models from a Japanese OEM, including industry-first alcohol impairment detection.
The order is estimated at SEK 50 million over product life cycle, with potential additional design-win value of SEK 200 million. Production is scheduled to start in 2028. Company totals: 370 design wins from 24 OEMs and combined lifetime value of SEK 8.775 billion.
Smart Eye (OTC:SMTEF) announced its driver and occupant monitoring software is now pre-integrated on Renesas R-Car X5H, the flagship SoC of R-Car Gen 5, enabling ASIL-B in-cabin sensing on centralized automotive compute.
The integration places safety-critical sensing alongside infotainment and ADAS on a single compute unit, aims to reduce ECUs, shorten integration cycles, and accelerate time-to-market. Smart Eye's stack is included in the Renesas RoX Whitebox SDK with pre-validated camera support and a lightweight footprint, allowing OEMs and Tier 1s to activate in-cabin sensing during early platform evaluation.
Renesas will demo the R-Car X5H and RoX Whitebox SDK at CES 2026; Smart Eye will exhibit in West Hall booth #3327.
Smart Eye (OTC:SMTEF) and Airy3D will demonstrate a single-sensor passive 3D in-cabin monitoring solution at CES 2026.
The live demo (announced January 6, 2026) combines Smart Eye's eye-tracking and 3D posture software with Airy3D's DepthIQ method to extract depth from one automotive CMOS image sensor, aiming to reduce cost, size, power and system complexity while maintaining performance under sunlight and real-world conditions. The demonstration targets adaptive restraint applications that request added depth detection for higher ASIL levels.
Attendees can view the demo by invitation at Smart Eye booth #3327 and schedule meetings via the company's CES booking page.
Smart Eye (OTC PINK:SMTEF) and Green Hills Software will demonstrate an integrated driver monitoring and mixed‑criticality platform at CES 2026 (Jan 6–9). The production‑focused demo shows Smart Eye's safety‑critical driver monitoring software and a digital instrument cluster running on a single automotive ECU using Green Hills' ASIL‑certified INTEGRITY RTOS.
The setup includes multiple in‑vehicle ECUs, a cloud gateway, and CARLA driving simulation to trigger visual cluster alerts, network DMS events, gateway logging, and cloud telemetry — aiming to reduce integration complexity and shorten validation cycles for OEMs and Tier 1s.
Smart Eye (OTC: SMTEF) returns to CES 2026 (Jan 6-9) to demonstrate in-cabin intelligence advances, led by a real-time alcohol impairment detection feature named a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree.
The impairment detection is built on real-world driving data, ships via Smart Eye's AIS system, and requires no new hardware. Demos include an empathetic AI co-driver (Sheila), bank-level iris authentication, under-display camera DMS, AIS Driver Support System, AI ONE DMS unit, and Concept Development Kits. Smart Eye will be at West Hall, booth #3327; meetings can be booked via the company's CES page.

Smart Eye announced that its AIS Commercial Vehicle (CV) Alert driver support system has successfully passed homologation with Polish bus manufacturer Solaris, ensuring compliance with the EU's General Safety Regulation (GSR). This marks the second of Smart Eye's commercial vehicle customers to achieve certification using their AIS system.
The AIS CV Alert system, launched in October 2023, uses computer vision and AI to detect early signs of drowsiness, helping prevent accidents. Smart Eye partnered with Skymatik to support Solaris in implementing the system and achieving full GSR compliance.
This certification highlights Smart Eye's ability to meet GSR requirements and positions them to expand their reach to more commercial vehicle manufacturers across Europe. The company also recently launched AIS Focus, a system designed to detect driver distraction in real-time, addressing future GSR mandates.
Smart Eye has expanded its credit facility to SEK 150 million, increasing its unused credit limit from SEK 82 million to SEK 232 million. The credit facility has a 12-month term from the date of drawdown, up to October 2026. The cost includes a SEK 7.5 million fee, a 1.5% charge on utilized credit, and a 1% monthly interest rate.
This expansion aims to create financial buffers against potential negative impacts on new car sales and support Smart Eye's expansion plans, including product development and potential acquisitions. CEO Martin Krantz cited concerns about global new car sales not meeting expected levels, which could affect licensing revenue growth. However, he remains optimistic about Smart Eye's licensing revenues, noting the impact of the ADDW legislation requiring adaptation of all European car models by 2026.
