What Sightic does
Sightic Analytics AB is a Swedish AI software company that develops computer vision–based systems for detecting alcohol and drug impairment through real-time analysis of eye movements, pupil response, gaze direction, and facial cues. Its core technology processes video from existing cameras (smartphone front cameras or in-cabin DMS hardware) to produce an impairment alert without storing or transmitting raw biometric data. The company sells three product lines: EyeScan Pro, a ~10-second roadside drug screening tool for law enforcement delivered as a mobile app or SDK; EyeScan Solo, a workplace screening tool for daily employee checks delivered as an app or SDK; and IRIS scan, a workplace safety variant deployed at Volvo Cars. It also offers an OEM-embedded software product (Continuous Monitoring Software Release 2.0) for integration into in-vehicle Driver Monitoring Systems, aligned with Euro NCAP 2026 requirements and built to ISO 26262 and MISRA guidelines.
Sightic monetizes through software licensing to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers (per-vehicle or annual licensing), multi-year subscription contracts with police authorities (e.g., a four-year, SEK 40M contract with a European Police Authority), and enterprise subscriptions for workplace deployments. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with embedded OEM distribution; in February 2026, Sightic was acquired by Smart Eye for SEK 60.5M (plus up to SEK 50M earn-out), which significantly extends distribution into global automotive OEM channels. Primary customer segments are automotive OEMs and fleet operators, law enforcement agencies, and employers in safety-critical industries. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, and the company is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The company is differentiated by a proprietary naturalistic dataset on impaired driving (developed with Volvo Group, Karolinska Institute, and RISE), privacy-by-design local processing compliant with GDPR and the EU AI Act, and the ability to detect both alcohol and drugs in a single scan using existing camera hardware rather than dedicated sensors. Sightic's strategic priorities post-acquisition are integration into Smart Eye's automotive DMS portfolio and scaling law enforcement and workplace safety deployments globally.

Sightic competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Smart Eye: Swedish leader in driver monitoring systems for distraction, drowsiness, and (post-acquisition) alcohol and drug impairment. Smart Eye is now Sightic's parent company and the most direct comparable in DMS software targeting OEMs, with overlapping in-cabin computer vision capability and identical customer segment.
- Seeing Machines: Australia-based DMS specialist using eye-tracking and facial analysis for driver monitoring, deployed across automotive and fleet verticals. Direct competitor to both Sightic and Smart Eye in OEM-embedded DMS with comparable computer vision approach and overlapping regulatory alignment with Euro NCAP.
- Tobii: Swedish pioneer in eye-tracking technology with deep expertise in gaze, pupil, and facial analysis. Comparable core technology to Sightic (eye tracking applied to driver monitoring and consumer research), serving automotive, clinical research, and consumer electronics customers.
- Soberlink: U.S.-based alcohol monitoring company using remote breathalyzer technology for court-ordered monitoring, workplace, and family tracking. Comparable to Sightic's EyeScan Pro and Solo in addressing real-time alcohol and substance impairment, though using different detection modality.
Broad incumbents
- Bosch: Global Tier 1 automotive supplier with an extensive ADAS and DMS portfolio including interior monitoring cameras. Bosch's Driver Monitoring System competes with Sightic's OEM-embedded offering as part of a much broader sensor and software portfolio.
- Continental: Major Tier 1 supplier offering integrated DMS and ADAS solutions to global OEMs. Continental's cabin sensing platform overlaps with Sightic's impairment detection capabilities and benefits from deeper OEM integration and larger R&D budgets.
- Aptiv: Global technology company focused on active safety, ADAS, and user experience. Aptiv's driver monitoring offerings position it as a competing supplier for OEM-embedded impairment detection as part of broader vehicle electronics portfolios.
- Valeo: French Tier 1 supplier with a growing portfolio in cabin sensing and driver monitoring. Valeo's Smart Cocoon and related initiatives include occupant and driver monitoring, placing it in direct competition for OEM DMS programs.
- Magna International: Large automotive supplier with active development in ADAS, occupant monitoring, and electronic systems. Magna's portfolio breadth and OEM relationships make it a competing channel for impairment detection capabilities within integrated vehicle platforms.
- Dräger: German safety and medical technology company with established breath alcohol and drug detection products used by law enforcement worldwide. Dräger represents the incumbent standard in impairment testing that Sightic's computer vision approach aims to complement or disrupt.
