STOCKHOLM, Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Greater Than, the global provider of risk intelligence into road safety and climate impact, and Smart Eye AB, the industry leader in Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), today announced a strategic collaboration to deepen the understanding of driver risk and advance life-saving vehicle technologies.

The partnership will combine Greater Than's risk intelligence with Smart Eye's advanced driver monitoring system technology to explore the correlation between driver eye movements, Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) alerts, and crash risk.

Together, the companies are conducting comprehensive research to advance the understanding of driver distraction and drowsiness. Using Smart Eye's AIS system - a complete driver support solution designed for small-volume OEMs and fleet vehicles - to detect driver fatigue and distraction, the project will collect real-world behavioral data and combine with Greater Than's predictive risk analytics to refine and enhance the services.

"At Smart Eye, we are dedicated to transforming how vehicles understand and respond to human behavior," said Magnus Brunzell, VP of AIS, Smart Eye. "This partnership with Greater Than allows us to combine our expertise in Driver Monitoring Systems with their advanced risk intelligence to create a safer driving environment. By integrating predictive crash analytics with real-time behavioral monitoring, we are pushing the boundaries of what in-cabin AI systems can achieve."

From July 7, 2026, all new vehicles in the EU must incorporate an ADDW system that observes driver eye movements and issues warnings when distractions are detected. Using the data collected through Smart Eye's AIS systems and Greater Than's risk intelligence, the two companies will also explore the correlation between ADDW alerts, driver behavior, and crash probability. These insights will help automakers refine ADDW systems to improve safety outcomes and meet compliance standards.

With over 40% market share in DMS and a proven track record of collaborations with global automakers like Nissan, GM, and BMW, Smart Eye is at the forefront of AI-driven automotive safety solutions. Greater Than has been training its world-leading AI technology for 20 years with real-life data from 106 countries and 1,600 cities. As a result, it can rapidly predict crash probability and climate impact. Its customers include organizations across the insurance, fleet, mobility and automotive industries. Together, the two companies are uniquely positioned to set new standards in driver monitoring and risk analytics, offering solutions that benefit automotive manufacturers, fleet managers, and drivers alike.

"This collaboration will facilitate valuable research that has the potential to transform the driver experience and save lives," said Johanna Forseke, Chief Business Officer and Deputy CEO at Greater Than. "By understanding driver behavior, and the effects that safety warnings have on risk level, this partnership will be revolutionary to the future of cabin monitoring technology and the management of global road safety."
