At AutoSens USA 2026, sensor technology company SmartSens unveiled solutions for ADAS, surround-view, in-cabin sensing, and driver monitoring, alongside a preview of Flyingchip’s next-generation M2 automotive ISP chip. The company’s devices target a range of automotive applications, including front-view cameras, 360° surround-view systems, in-cabin occupant monitoring systems (OMS), and driver monitoring systems (DMS).
The company gave a live demonstration of its front-view automotive vision system that combines its SC860AT 8.3MP automotive-grade CMOS image sensor with the Flyingchip M1 automotive vision processing chip. Reportedly, it provides enhanced environmental perception and more accurate object detection to boost ADAS performance.
For surround-view applications, SmartSens offered a 360° surround-view system employing its SC360AT 3MP automotive-grade image sensor. Promising a more accurate view of the vehicle’s surroundings, the system gives drivers greater confidence when parking and navigating tight spaces.
For in-cabin sensing, the OMS platform pairs the SC533AT 5MP automotive-grade image sensor with a Flyingchip M1 chip. The platform detects occupant position, facial expressions, and physical movements while continuously monitoring children, pets, and personal belongings. While supporting safety functions, it enables features such as in-cabin photo capture.
Additionally, SmartSens unveiled a DMS system featuring its SC233AT 2.3MP automotive-grade, Sensor+ISP 2-in-1 global shutter image sensor. This system monitors driver attention and alertness in real time to reduce risks associated with drowsy or distracted driving. For greater gleanings, visit the SmartSens website.
