Valeo and Seeing Machines, the computer vision technology company that designs AI-powered operator monitoring systems to improve safety, today announced that their joint ICMS (in-cabin monitoring solutions) for driver and occupant applications will be featured across several Valeo demonstrations at CES 2026 in Las Vegas this week.

“By combining Valeo’s expertise in full system design, integration, and app development with Seeing Machines’ advanced perception technology, this collaboration delivers the key applications needed to meet new safety regulations and rising market demand,” said Marc Vrecko, CEO at Valeo Brain Division. “What we’re showcasing at CES 2026 proves that advanced monitoring—whether gaze-based alerts, full interior analysis, or even helmet detection—creates immediate value for carmakers and real protection for drivers and riders.”

The partnership aims to deliver a best-in-class, fully integrated interior sensing solution aligned with upcoming safety regulations and growing global demand.

“We are committed to bringing best-in-class automotive in-cabin experiences to the market and to achieving our purpose of getting everyone home safely,” said Paul McGlone, CEO at Seeing Machines. “Combining Seeing Machines’ advanced software and hardware embedding capabilities with Valeo’s superb system design expertise will ensure we are better placed to win more production programs together as regulation in Europe comes into force and OEMs continue to compete on the global stage.”

Valeo uses Seeing Machines’ DMS/OMS (driver and occupant monitoring system) features across multiple applications, bringing safety and convenience features to car manufacturers and drivers. Seeing Machines will support Valeo by integrating its ICMS software, expanding classic driver-monitoring functions to include gaze tracking to determine whether the driver has identified a detected hazard, as well as helmet-wearing detection for two-wheelers. These capabilities will be deployed across three different SoCs, demonstrating multi-platform integration capability.

Valeo demonstrations at CES 2026 include the Panovision head-up display that features an adaptive warning system based on gaze tracking. A Safe InSight demonstration vehicle presents a multi-layer approach to driver and interior monitoring. SmartCluster helmet detection for two-wheelers enables the detection of the absence of a helmet before the ride begins.

At CES, Seeing Machines also unveiled its next-generation 3D cabin perception mapping solution, which it says represents a major advancement in in-cabin intelligence, delivering high-fidelity sensing that monitors drivers and all vehicle occupants in real time. By providing a precise, continuous understanding of occupant presence, position, and behavior, the technology enables automakers to unlock new levels of safety performance while enhancing the overall in-vehicle experience across an expanding range of driving scenarios.

In addition to the Valeo collaboration, Seeing Machines’ technology will be featured across a number of partner exhibits at CES, including with Magna, QNX, and Texas Instruments.
