Smart Eye's Driver Monitoring software is the best equipped solution to deliver on the requirements of Euro NCAP and the new regulations taking shape in the US and China. Since the recent acquisition of Emotion AI pioneer Affectiva, the company is also aptly positioned to lead and accelerate the rapidly growing Interior Sensing market.

"Smart Eye's unparalleled domain expertise combined with their focus on quality and performance positions the company perfectly to lead this market, saving lives and improving our transportation experiences.

Detlef Wilke is leaving his previous position at Aptiv (formerly Delphi) after 23 years with the company. His focus was on Driver Monitoring and Interior Sensing after seven years in a number of parallel roles, ranging from Technical Management, Project Leadership, and Solution and Quote Strategies Leadership. In his prior role he successfully built up and shaped business and technology in the areas of Driver- and Interior Monitoring. Previously, he was active in leading roles for OEM- and Aftermarket Connectivity Telematics hardware and software. As Chairman of the CLEPA Mirror Group for Euro NCAP Occupant Status Monitoring, Detlef was deeply involved in the NCAP and legislative strategies.
