Gothenburg, Sweden – April 28, 2026 – Smart Eye, a leading developer of Driver Monitoring System (DMS) and Interior Sensing software for the automotive industry, has secured an additional order with a major Japanese vehicle manufacturer to add Interior Sensing AI to two existing vehicle programs. 

The order was secured in collaboration with a global Tier 1 supplier and builds on the vehicle programs announced in April 2025, when Smart Eye was selected to deliver DMS software for two new vehicle models. The new agreement adds Interior Sensing AI to both of those vehicle models, further expanding Smart Eye’s role within the program. 

Interior Sensing AI combines driver and occupant monitoring capabilities, enabling the vehicle to better understand activity and occupant status throughout the cabin. The new order reflects growing demand for solutions that combine driver monitoring with broader in-cabin sensing, and expands Smart Eye’s role within an existing customer program. 

Production of the models featuring Smart Eye’s Interior Sensing AI is scheduled to begin in mid-2027. Based on projected product life cycle volumes, the order is estimated to generate at least SEK 60 million in revenue. 

“This is the third OEM choosing cabin monitoring from Smart Eye” says Martin Krantz, CEO and Founder of Smart Eye. “We are once again upselling interior sensing to our DMS customers. This is a solid trend that we expect will accelerate”

Since these two car models were already secured for DMS, Smart Eye has still received a total of 372 design wins from 24 OEMs. With this additional order, Smart Eye’s Interior Sensing technology has been selected for a total of 12 car models by multiple OEMs. The combined estimated lifetime value from current design wins is now larger than SEK 8.85 billion. The estimated value over the product lifecycle from possible additional design wins with all 24 manufacturers is SEK 5.63 billion.
