Smart Eye develops and licenses software that tracks eye movements, gaze direction, and blink patterns in real time. Its primary application is driver-monitoring systems (DMS) for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, where it detects drowsiness, distraction, and incapacitation. The software runs on standard automotive-grade cameras and does not require proprietary hardware.

Smart Eye generates revenue through per-vehicle license fees paid by automakers and Tier 1 suppliers, as well as upfront engineering services for integration. It also licenses to aerospace, research, and defense customers. Per its 2024 annual report, total revenue was approximately 350 million SEK (roughly $33 million).

European Union regulations require all new vehicles to include driver drowsiness and attention warnings (General Safety Regulation, effective 2022). The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposed a similar mandate in 2023. These regulations directly expand the addressable market for Smart Eye's eye-tracking software (per NHTSA and EU regulatory announcements).

Yes. Smart Eye also supplies eye-tracking software for aerospace (pilot monitoring), defense (helmet-mounted displays), and general research (usability testing). However, automotive DMS is the primary revenue driver.
