Seeing Machines technology bolsters safety in GM 2018 Cadillac
CT6 Super Cruise system
10 October 2017
Seeing Machines (AIM: SEE), an industry leader in computer
vision based technologies which enable machines to see, understand
and assist people, announces the automotive production debut of its
FOVIO driver monitoring technology in the 2018 Cadillac CT6. The
FOVIO based driver monitoring system (DMS) forms an integral part
of General Motors' industry leading Super Cruise hands-free driving
system for the highway, ensuring safe and confident vehicle
operation.
Overcoming the challenges of reliable driver monitoring is
critical in hands-free driving systems to address the need for
keeping drivers engaged and prepared to re-take control of the
vehicle when required. The Cadillac Super Cruise system uses FOVIO
vision technology, developed by Seeing Machines, to enable a
gumdrop-sized infrared camera on the steering wheel column to
accurately determine the driver's attention state. This is
accomplished through a precise measure of head orientation and
eyelid movements under a full range of daytime and night-time
driving conditions including the use of sunglasses. If the driver
looks away from the road or closes their eyes for more than a few
seconds, a light bar integrated into the steering wheel will flash
to guide the driver's attention back to the road. If the system
determines that the driver is continuing to ignore the road,
intentionally or otherwise, a series of escalating visual, audible
and seat vibration alerts are employed. This is followed,
eventually, by an automatic safe stop of the vehicle if the driver
does not, or cannot, return their attention to the road.
The launch of Super Cruise marks the beginning of Seeing
Machines' mass deployment of DMS technology in the automotive
industry. This is coincident with the Company's ongoing work with a
growing range of OEM and Tier 1 partners, as demand increases for
the FOVIO DMS platform and processor in support of semi-autonomous
driving, driver safety, comfort, and convenience applications.
Mike McAuliffe, Seeing Machines CEO commented: "The Seeing
Machines team has worked very hard on this breakthrough DMS
technology for a number of years and is proud to have helped GM
bring to market the world's first hands-free driving system for the
highway, with the Cadillac CT6 Super Cruise. We look forward to
continuing our GM partnership as we continue to advance the
development and integration of our DMS technology to complement
GM's leadership in autonomous driving systems going forward."
