NOVELIC Partners with Global DMS Leader Smart Eye to Develop Next-Generation Camera and Radar In-Cabin Monitoring Systems21.9.2026 08:00:00 CEST | Press release
BELGRADE, RS / ACCESS Newswire / September 21, 2026 / NOVELIC, a Belgrade-based innovator in mmWave radar solutions, announced a strategic partnership with Smart Eye, a global leader in Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) and Interior Sensing AI, to provide OEMs with a well-rounded feature set that satisfies the upcoming Euro NCAP requirements for driver and occupant monitoring. The result is a scalable and cost-effective solution that combines vision and radar for straightforward integration. Since the software is running entirely on the sensor, only a single CAN-Bus interface to the vehicle is required, eliminating the need for external hardware, LVDS interfaces, and added computational load elsewhere in the car. NOVELIC and Smart Eye's innovative system approach will debut at Smart Eye's booth #305 at InCabin Europe 2026 in Barcelona. The demonstration will showcase enhanced performance and compliance with relevant safety protocols through the fusion of radar and vision technologies. NO
