Valeo and Seeing Machines collaborating on driver and occupant monitoring solutions

Valeo and Seeing Machines announced a strategic collaboration aimed at strengthening their position in the driver and occupant monitoring systems (OMS) market. As part of this agreement, Valeo is transferring its driver monitoring perception software activity to Seeing Machines.
