As OEMs race to bring production ready SAE level 3 vehicles to market, the issue of monitoring the driver both physically and cognitively becomes more important in order to ensure a safe interaction between human and machine. Driver monitoring systems in vehicles have been commonplace in recent years, however only now, with the push towards level 3, is the introduction of camera based systems becoming more widespread.

Within this new report, SBD has covered a range of topics relating to driver monitoring systems, including explaining the need for the driver monitoring system within vehicles today. In addition to this, SBD has profiled a wide range of OEMs, tier 1 suppliers and other players that currently offer or are working on bringing to market driver monitoring solutions.

SBD believes that driver monitoring is essential for enabling higher levels of autonomy,  so we have created "Driver and Cabin Monitoring Technologies: Solutions for current L2 and requirements for future L3/4" to:

• Explain why interior monitoring technologies are going to become more of a necessity for the deployment of higher levels of automation.
  
  
• Indicate the active areas of research and the technologies being considered for both driver monitoring and child presence detection.
  
  
• Analyse the research, concept and existing direct driver monitoring solutions (measuring various biometric aspects of the driver) from 42 major players.
