PRESS RELEASE

 

Seeing Machines Technical Paper Series on Non-Fatigue Impairment launched

Alcohol-related driver impairment remains a key factor in road accidents
globally as current roadside strategies don't go far enough

Canberra, 17 December 2025: Seeing Machines Limited, a global leader in
vision-based monitoring technology, has released Part One of its new Technical
Paper series, dedicated to advancing the understanding and detection of
non-fatigue driver impairment, starting with intoxication. This initiative
marks a major step in the company's broader focus on leveraging its Driver
Monitoring System (DMS) technology to address critical safety challenges on
roads, globally.

Alcohol continues to be a leading cause of road trauma worldwide, contributing
significantly to fatalities and injuries despite ongoing roadside based
preventative efforts. Recognising these persistent risks, Seeing Machines has
launched its capability to harness the power of DMS technology to identify
impairment from alcohol in real time.

The Company's latest research highlights the limitations of relying solely on
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) as a benchmark for impairment. Traditional
approaches often overlook the way impairment unfolds over time, resulting in
gaps between BAC progression and real-world driver performance. Seeing
Machines' DMS technology aims to bridge this divide by directly assessing
functional impairment in real time, ensuring enhanced detection sensitivity
and more effective in-cabin intervention strategies.

"Roadside alcohol testing has delivered great reductions in road injury over
many years. Our goal is to complement these existing roadside programs by
leading the introduction of in-vehicle approaches," said Dr Mike Lenné, Chief
Safety Officer at Seeing Machines. "By incorporating the temporal dynamics of
impairment, how it evolves during both the ascending and descending phases of
intoxication from alcohol as well as the complex effects of other drugs such
as cannabis, our technology can reflect real-time real-world risks and provide
greater safety protections to road users."

To support this approach, Seeing Machines is working with leading experts and
universities, conducting pioneering experiments that explore the disconnect
between BAC readings and actual driver impairment. These collaborations
underscore the Company's commitment to developing solutions that align
technological innovation with real-world safety outcomes.

Part One of the Technical Paper series is now available, with future
instalments set to explore additional aspects of non-fatigue impairment,
including from cannabis, and further enhance the capabilities of DMS
technology for road safety.
