New research from 5725 ABI Research forecasts that the global market for driver monitoring systems (DMS) will reach 64.8 million units by the end of 2020 with the majority of shipments being accounted for in vehicles sold in the Asia-Pacific region.

Driver monitoring systems were First introduced as far back as 2006 when 1686 Toyota launched its innovative driver attention monitor system. Toyota’s system functions by directly monitoring the driver’s face using a discrete in-dash camera and was initially offered as an option in the company’s luxury 4349 Lexus models. Other OEMs soon followed suit and announced their own DMS systems which were typically based on monitoring the vehicle rather than the driver’s face.

“DMS systems such as 1685 Mercedes-Benz’s ’Attention Assist’ and 609 Volvo and 994 Volkswagen’s ’Driver Alert’ systems were the First ADAS systems to be offered as standard equipment by OEMs, albeit only in a small selection of models,” comments Gareth Owen, principal analyst at ABI Research.
