Its focus will be on supporting the roll-out of production-ready, human-centred safety systems that can be deployed at scale.
Autonomous vehicle initiatives worldwide are shifting from extended development phases into early commercial operations, the group said.
This transition has increased demand for embedded monitoring solutions that can be reliably integrated across global fleets, it added.
Seeing Machines noted that it has worked with several autonomous driving developers to deploy its Guardian-based system, which is currently installed in more than 1,000 self-driving development vehicles.
The Future Mobility Group will operate as a specialised internal team supporting autonomous vehicle programmes throughout development, deployment and commercial expansion.
It will work with customers globally to integrate the company’s driver and occupant monitoring system (DMS/OMS) technology into autonomous products and services, using an engagement model aligned with emerging mobility platforms.
Seeing Machines said the new group builds on experience gained from its Guardian backup driver monitoring system and is intended to support the full lifecycle of autonomous vehicle programmes.
The company aims to align its technology development and commercial activities more closely with both existing and new customers.
The group will support the deployment of fully autonomous robotaxi services, logistics and delivery fleets, and remotely supervised or tele-operated vehicle platforms.
Seeing Machines CEO Paul McGlone said: “Future Mobility is not just about autonomy, it’s about building transport systems that understand people as well as they understand the road.
“The establishment of our Future Mobility Group, which leverages existing Seeing Machines resources and platform technology, reflects our long-term strategy to embed human understanding at the centre of next-generation vehicle platforms as our customers in automotive, aftermarket and aviation move towards this.”
Founded in 2000, Seeing Machines develops solutions to measure driver attention and cognitive state to reduce accident risk.
It operates across automotive, commercial fleet, off-road and aviation markets, with offices in Australia, the US, Europe and Asia.
