I firmly believe Seeing Machines is set to make it 3 out of 3 in the US, when it adds Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to its existing customers, General Motors and Ford.
I know this runs counter to the views of the SmartEye analyst Viktor Westman but I’m confident Veoneer with Seeing Machines will be the preferred choice for FCA. My reasoning is simple: FCA is already a key customer of Veoneer and Seeing Machines has not only a superior DMS system but a very close working relationship with Veoneer.
If you were FCA would you choose a DMS system that is inferior to that of your main US rivals?
Japan
Meanwhile, over in Japan, it seems that Seeing Machines has made great progress in cracking that market. Toyota by all accounts is in the bag. Moreover, Seeing Machines is exhibiting its DMS with Japanese Tier 1, Nexty Electronics (that is part owned by Toyota) at the 1st Automotive World exhibition in Nagoya, Japan this week.
