MEAA, Seeing Machines partner on driver monitoring solution promotion

Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America (MEAA) signed a Referral Agreement with Seeing Machines Limited to promote Seeing Machines’ Guardian Generation 3 driver monitoring system. The agreement will see MEAA using its distribution network and customer relationships to grant greater access to Guardian for fleets in the Americas.

“This agreement with Seeing Machines aligns with our purpose to provide cutting-edge technologies that support safer, more efficient commercial vehicle operations,” said Masahiro Kaji, President and CEO of MEAA. “Guardian Generation 3 is a game-changer in driver monitoring. By utilizing our well-established distribution network, we are excited to bring this solution to fleet operators across the Americas.”

Guardian Generation 3 is an AI-powered driver monitoring system that tracks signs of distraction and drowsiness in real time with computer monitoring technology. It can then alert the driver with visible and audible warnings if it detects any problems, as well as provide haptic feedback through a vibration unit under the seat.

Additionally, Guardian can also capture event-based footage and send it to a live monitoring center, where analysts can contact fleet management if need be. To protect drivers' privacy, the system only records when it detects a safety event.
