What Comes Next for DMS+OMS: A Conversation with Tobii

We spoke to Carmen PătraÈ™cu, who leads Tobii’s interior sensing Sales and Marketing, about what comes after the world’s first single-camera DMS+OMS solution reaches the road, and how broader adoption can open the next chapter of interior sensing.
As Head of Sales and Marketing, Carmen works where Autosense technology meets the market. Her focus is not only on turning complex engineering into a clear proposition, but also on understanding what different OEMs and Tier 1s need to move from interest to implementation.
Synthetic Data for In-Cabin Monitoring and Virtual Validation

As in-cabin monitoring systems become more sophisticated, validating DMS, OMS and child presence detection across real-world human behaviour, sensor conditions and edge cases is becoming increasingly difficult.
Javier Salado, Product Manager at Anyverse, explains how synthetic data and simulation can support in-cabin monitoring validation, reduce the domain gap between virtual and real sensor data, and contribute to future Euro NCAP virtual assessment ahead of InCabin Europe 2026.
How Hand-Tracking Is Shaping the Future of In-Cabin Monitoring
From detecting distraction to predicting driver intent, hand-tracking is becoming an increasingly valuable part of the intelligent cockpit.
As in-cabin monitoring evolves beyond traditional gaze and facial analysis, advances in computer vision are unlocking new ways to understand driver behaviour and create safer, more intuitive human-machine interfaces. In this interview, Agnes Jernström, Senior Software Engineer at Neonode, explains how hand-tracking is helping to advance occupant monitoring and the next generation of in-cabin AI.
Why Global Shutter HDR Is the Next Step for In-Cabin Cameras

As in-cabin cameras take on more responsibilities, from driver monitoring and occupant sensing to videoconferencing and user authentication, image sensors must deliver far more than high-quality pictures.
The rise of RGB-IR imaging is driving demand for High Dynamic Range (HDR) capabilities that work with global shutter technology, enabling reliable sensing in challenging lighting conditions. We spoke with Tomas Geurts, Senior R&D Director, Europe at OMNIVISION, about why HDR requirements are changing, how RGB-IR is reshaping in-cabin monitoring, and what future camera architectures will need to support the next generation of intelligent vehicle interiors.
Beyond Compliance: How Agentic AI Could Unlock the Next Generation of Occupant Monitoring

Occupant Monitoring Systems (OMS) are evolving from regulatory necessities into intelligent platforms capable of understanding occupants, context and intent.
As legal requirements and Euro NCAP establish the baseline for safety, the next wave of innovation lies in using the same sensing infrastructure to enable proactive safety, personalised assistance, comfort and more natural human-vehicle interaction. We spoke with Dr. Frederik Diederichs, Head of Perceptual User Interfaces Group at Fraunhofer IOSB, about how agentic AI, multimodal sensing and rapid prototyping tools such as AktiMeter are helping the industry explore what comes next for intelligent in-cabin systems.

Sara’s Top Takeaways: What We Learned at InCabin USA 2026

InCabin USA 2026 was so much fun, but of course we had to be productive too. Here’s what “productive” looked like for the attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and partners who joined us in Detroit.
A special thank you to Tobii, our Founding Partner, for helping us build an event that prioritises a happy, engaged, and collaborative InCabin community. The industry showed up ready to share, challenge, learn, and connect – and the result was three fantastic days of discussion and discovery.
