EyeSight scores $15M to use computer vision to combat driver distraction

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The idea of using computer vision and AI to enable cars to drive themselves is well-established, but how about using similar technology to
attentiveness
sounds and vibrations) or potentially temporarily activate self-driving mode
dynamics at play
The European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP), a voluntary vehicle safety rating system backed by the European Union, will require new
car models to have Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) by 2020
into focus, too
It is well accepted that in the interim stages before we reach level 5 or full autonomy, semi autonomous driving technology that goes well
beyond cruise control will become more and more commonplace
This sees AI and computer vision take over various driving functions, but still requires human assistance, intervention and responsibility
However, some argue that this stage is potentially more dangerous than either human driving or fully autonomous vehicles as there is a much
semi-autonomous vehicles, which have some self-driving features
EyeSight.In addition to driver monitoring, the EyeSight tech can scan the entire cabin of a car, understanding who and what is in the
vehicle
The round is led by Jebsen Capital, Arie Capital, and Mizrahi Tefahot, and will be used to deploy in-car AI vision system
The Israeli company is already partnering with two major car manufacturers and says the technology will be in at least four car models by
2020.
