How do you make iris recognition work when the iris is only around 36 pixels across? 👁️

That is one of the challenges Smart Eye’s Gabriel Hine discusses in a new interview with InCabin ahead of .

He talks about what it takes to bring from controlled environments like phones and access terminals into a moving vehicle, why combining iris and face recognition changes the equation, and what reliable in-cabin identity could enable beyond .

Smart Eye has secured three new design wins with a major European OEM – adding an estimated SEK 100 million in lifetime revenue.

The new program will combine and software in a rear-view mirror-integrated solution across all three models, making this our second program of its kind.

Production is scheduled to begin in 2029.

With this order, Smart Eye has now received 379 design wins from 24 OEMs, while our Interior Sensing technology has been selected for 18 car models by four OEMs.

On a warm summer day, the temperature inside a parked car can rise dangerously fast. 🌡️

For a child left behind, the situation can quickly become life-threatening.

That is why a simple reminder to check the back seat is not always enough.

Most reminder systems rely on indirect cues, such as whether a rear door was opened before the trip. They cannot confirm that a child is actually still inside.

’s 2026 protocol sets a higher standard. To score points, ( ) systems must directly detect the child, cover all relevant areas inside the vehicle, and trigger warnings within defined time limits.

For full points, the vehicle must also take action, for example by activating climate control, unlocking the doors, or sending a remote alert.

August often marks the start of an important planning period for researchers working toward fall application deadlines. 📝

And when is part of the proposed study, the equipment justification matters.

Reviewers need to understand not only why eye tracking is relevant, but how the system’s capabilities connect to the research question and the study environment.

Our guide looks at how to make that case clearly, and why it is worth preparing the rationale before the application deadline gets uncomfortably close.

Euro NCAP 2026 puts up to 25 points on the line for driver monitoring.

Here's what the score actually covers 👇

• Up from 2 points in 2023 – now one of the most weighted categories in the entire protocol.

• Three behavioral states: distraction, drowsiness, and impairment. Systems have to cover all three.

• Speed and appropriateness of the response are scored, not just detection. Catching the event and then overcorrecting still costs points.

• Boundary conditions are where systems diverge: glasses, low light, subtle early-stage signals. That's where the gap between average and good shows up.

Euro NCAP is giving car manufacturers more reason to look beyond basic (DMS).

Our latest order adds further interior sensing features to three vehicle models already equipped with Smart Eye software, helping the OEM improve their potential Euro NCAP performance.

As more manufacturers take the same approach, the value of Smart Eye’s existing DMS design wins can continue to grow beyond the functionality included in the original order.

Some of the biggest product improvements don't start as product ideas.

They start as customer questions.

One OEM asks for a capability.
Another applies it differently.
A third exposes a limitation nobody had seen before.

Over time, those experiences shape not just individual vehicle programs, but the technology itself.

Smart Eye's Matt Remijn explores why this happens in the latest article in his Value Between the Lines series.
