GÖTEBORG, SWEDEN and BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2023 / Smart Eye (STO:SEYE)(OTC PINK:SMTEF)(FRA:SE9) provides key technology for Volvo Cars' comprehensive driver understanding system, improving driver safety to avoid road fatalities.

Smart Eye, the leading developer of AI-based driver monitoring technology, today announced that its premium Driver Monitoring System (DMS) software is included in the new Volvo EX90, Volvo Cars' all-electric flagship SUV. Smart Eye's DMS is a key component in the Volvo EX90 Driver Understanding System (DUS), which will provide a deeper understanding of the state of the driver to help further enhance traffic safety.

Volvo Cars is breaking new grounds in active safety by introducing and standardizing a DUS in its new fully electric EX90. It combines the industry's first dual camera DUS with a capacitive steering wheel. Powered by Smart Eye's advanced AI algorithms that analyze driver eye, face, head, and body movements, the system enables a deeper understanding of what's happening with people inside of a vehicle, and in particular when a driver, for some reason, is not entirely concentrated on the driving task. This will allow the Volvo EX90 to warn and act when necessary but also, and just as important, to stay out of the way when the driver does not need assistance.

"We're proud to work with Volvo Cars to deliver advanced road safety technology," said Martin Krantz, CEO and Founder of Smart Eye. "As two Swedish companies committed to stellar safety and impeccable design, this collaboration signifies great progress in an initiative that's been prioritized in Sweden - and globally - for decades: to reduce road fatalities and save lives. The suite of advanced technologies that form the Volvo EX90's driver understanding system ensure the best performance and accuracy, further enhancing safety."

"Smart Eye's leading DMS software is a key component in our Driver Understanding System, where once more, Volvo Cars' state-of-the-art research will further help drivers avoid collisions" said Åsa Haglund, Head of Volvo Cars Safety Center. "For decades, Smart Eye has proven its strength in delivering outstanding measurement technology for driver behavior studies. Bringing that competence to bear directly in our products is a natural next step and tightly aligns with Volvo Cars' commitment to continued innovation for everyone's safety".
