Newegg commerce: Galkin family buys $5.8M in NEGG stock
NEW YORK - Seeing Machines Limited (AIM:SEE) has secured a $1.2 million agreement to provide additional Guardian Backup-driver Monitoring Systems (BdMS) to a North American self-driving car company, according to a press release statement issued Monday.
The technology will be deployed in autonomous test vehicles as the unnamed customer expands operations to new locations. The monitoring systems are designed to support human backup drivers who oversee autonomous vehicles during public road testing phases.
Seeing Machines’ Guardian BdMS technology monitors backup drivers to ensure they remain vigilant during on-road operations, addressing safety concerns during the development of autonomous driving technology.
"Around the world, regulators and automakers understand that driver and occupant monitoring technology will bridge the gap between the vehicles of today, where the driver is still in control, and the fully autonomous cars of tomorrow," said Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines.
The agreement represents a continuation of an existing relationship between the companies, though the identity of the North American customer was not disclosed in the announcement.
Seeing Machines, listed on London’s AIM market, specializes in computer vision technology and AI-powered operator monitoring systems designed to improve transport safety. The company’s technology is being utilized during the testing and validation phases of autonomous vehicle development, when backup drivers are typically required for safety purposes.
