Seeing Machines Adds 'Attention Sharing' Feature to Guardian Gen 3

Australia-based Seeing Machines Limited has launched a new 'attention sharing' feature for its Guardian Generation 3 aftermarket safety system, announced in a press release. The technology enhances distraction detection by monitoring not only where a driver looks but also how long their eyes are off the road.

The feature measures cumulative glance time to identify repeated, split-second distractions that may not trigger traditional systems. This enables earlier detection of risky behavior such as frequent glances at mobile devices or in-cabin controls.

According to the company, the update is being rolled out over the air to existing Guardian Gen 3 units in trucks and buses and comes pre-installed on new systems. The continuous real-time eye gaze tracking ensures that drivers receive alerts only when genuine risk is detected, reducing unnecessary warnings and improving overall alert accuracy.
