Cipia to provide new Chery models with driver monitoring system software

Israel-based Cipia, an AI computer vision in-cabin automotive solutions provider, today announced its latest design wins with a new Tier 1 for carmaker Chery.

The two new Chery models will include Cipia’s Driver Sense, driver monitoring system (DMS), which will be integrated on the vehicles’ In-Vehicle Infotainment system (IVI), and will run on a Qualcomm SOC. The models are expected to start production by the first part of 2024. 

Cipia's Driver Sense software uses computer vision and AI to monitor the driver's state in real-time. The solution detects signs of drowsiness, distraction, phone use, seatbelt and more, enabling lifesaving alerts to the driver.

We are delighted to have been selected to provide Driver Sense for additional Chery car models,” said Yehuda Holtzman, CEO of Cipia. “Our deepening partnership with Chery demonstrates the value that our in-cabin sensing solutions provide to OEMs and Tier 1s globally, making driving safer and saving lives on the roads.”
