Eyeris

What Eyeris does

Eyeris is a Mountain View, California-based AI software company that develops in-cabin sensing technology for the automotive industry. Founded in 2012, the company provides monocular 3D sensing AI software that converts standard 2D image sensor input into depth-aware perception of vehicle occupants, enabling driver monitoring, occupant monitoring, child presence detection, drowsiness detection, and personalized comfort features. Its core technology stack comprises three layers: a Monocular 3D Sensing AI layer (depth from 2D sensors), a Sensor Fusion AI layer that combines camera, radar, and thermal inputs, and an Agnostic AI Compute layer that runs across ASICs, CPUs, FPGAs, DSPs, and GPUs. The platform is built around modular sub-modules including upper body tracking, face analysis, object recognition, and behavior modeling, and is anchored by the Eyeris DataBank, described as the world's largest in-cabin sensing dataset.

Eyeris sells to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers globally, with regional offices in Mountain View, Tokyo, Beijing, and Seoul supporting engineering integration and field sales. The company monetizes via enterprise software licensing of its AI perception stack, paired with engineering services for integration into vehicle programs; revenue, pricing, and funding history are not publicly disclosed. Named customers and integration partners include Tesla, Marelli, Karma, OMNIVISION, Leopard Imaging, indie Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, ON Semiconductor, AMD/Xilinx, FLIR Systems, and Seek Thermal, indicating a strategy of broad co-development across the automotive sensor and silicon ecosystem rather than reliance on a single OEM relationship.

Operationally, Eyeris remains founder-led (CEO Modar Alaoui), with 11–50 employees and no disclosed outside investment, suggesting a bootstrapped or privately financed operating model. The company's public positioning — recurring industry awards and a "world's most awarded in-cabin sensing company for ten consecutive years" claim — is consistent with a multi-year accumulation of design wins in driver monitoring systems and adjacent occupant-monitoring use cases tied to regulatory programs such as Euro NCAP and EU GSR.

Core offering

Eyeris develops and licenses in-cabin sensing AI software for automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Its portfolio centers on a Monocular 3D Sensing AI that derives depth-aware perception from a single 2D image sensor, supplemented by a Sensor Fusion AI that combines cameras with 60 GHz cabin radar and LWIR thermal imagers, and an Agnostic AI Compute layer that runs on diverse automotive processors (ASICs, CPUs, FPGAs, DSPs, GPUs). The software is delivered to OEMs and Tier 1s for integration into next-generation vehicle in-cabin monitoring and safety systems.

Product overview

Eyeris offers a comprehensive in-cabin sensing AI platform for next-generation vehicles. The core portfolio consists of Monocular 3D Sensing AI (the world's first in-cabin monocular 3D solution), Sensor Fusion AI (integrating camera, radar, and thermal sensors), and Agnostic AI Compute (compatible with diverse automotive processors). These are powered by the Eyeris DataBank, the world's largest in-cabin dataset. The platform provides modular AI capabilities including Upper Body Tracking, Face Analysis, Object Recognition, and Behavior Modeling, all processed in real-time on the edge without cloud dependency.

• Mobileye: Dominant ADAS perception platform whose EyeQ chips and growing in-cabin sensing ambitions put it in direct competition with Eyeris at the OEM level, particularly as Mobileye expands beyond exterior ADAS into interior sensing.

Direct peers

• Seeing Machines: Australian-listed DMS specialist that licenses driver monitoring and occupant monitoring AI to automotive OEMs and Tier 1s. Closely comparable to Eyeris in product scope (DMS/OMS AI), customer type (global OEMs), and go-to-market (software licensing for in-cabin perception).
• Smart Eye: Swedish public company and direct competitor in driver monitoring systems (DMS) and in-cabin AI for automotive OEMs. Competes head-to-head with Eyeris on DMS algorithms, eye tracking, and occupant monitoring, and is one of the most established specialty vendors in the category.
• Cipia (formerly Eyesight Technologies): Israeli in-cabin sensing AI company offering DMS and OMS software to OEMs and Tier 1s. Directly comparable as a focused software vendor competing for similar NCAP-driven DMS/OMS design wins.

Others

• Ambarella: AI vision processor company whose CV series SoCs are widely used in in-cabin monitoring applications. Adjacent/ecosystem player: supplies chips that run DMS/OMS software (potentially including Eyeris's), and its own CVflow-based reference designs can compete with Eyeris's software stack at the OEM level.

Emerging players

• Tobii: Eye-tracking technology company with an automotive division (Tobii Autosense) supplying driver monitoring algorithms and reference designs to OEMs. Overlaps with Eyeris on gaze tracking and DMS algorithms, though Tobii's roots are broader across AR/VR and research.
