Seeing Machines Limited has been appointed by an existing customer and global Automotive Tier-1 supplier to deliver its FOVIO Driver Monitoring System (DMS) for a leading Japanese carmaker. This contract win, with an initial lifetime value of AUD 21 million, due to start production in 2025, marks Seeing Machines' first production Automotive award in Japan and brings the total number of OEMs, with which Seeing Machines has won business, to nine. Delivery is via the Company's deeply embedded and accelerated Driver Monitoring Engine (FOVIO e-DME software library) configured for driver state sensing and targeted at global NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) and regulatory requirements, over a number of additional vehicle models.

Seeing Machines has recently expanded its presence in Japan and is working with a range of Tier 1 suppliers and Automotive OEMS to secure a number of new opportunities as Japanese car makers move to address global NCAP, regulatory, and safe semi-automated vehicle applications.
