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.
