Gaze‑Enabled Cockpit Engine: Safer and More Intuitive Driver Interaction
The Gaze‑Enabled Cockpit Engine, recognized as a Winner, is an eye‑tracking software solution that enables drivers to intuitively interact with cockpit displays by selecting icons through gaze, validated via a conveniently placed physical button such as one on the steering wheel. This approach significantly reduces driver distraction and cognitive load, improves comfort, and fully supports automotive safety regulations. By leveraging existing Driver Monitoring System (DMS) cameras, remaining hardware‑agnostic, and requiring minimal incremental cost, the solution offers OEMs a future‑proof, globally scalable pathway to safer and more intuitive in‑vehicle interaction.

The adoption of Gaze‑Enabled Cockpit Engine is aligned with the global rollout of DMS regulations. In Europe, the General Safety Regulation has mandated DMS cameras for all new vehicle types since July 2024, and will apply to all new cars by July 7, 2026. Similar regulatory frameworks are emerging in the EU, United States, China, and Japan, positioning the solution as a future‑proof, scalable innovation path for OEMs worldwide.

AIRTILE: Redefining Interactive Automotive Lighting
Awarded the Gold rating, AIRTILE offers a new way to design automotive interior lighting that is lighter, slimmer, and more sustainable than traditional solutions. Instead of relying on heavy solid plastic parts, AIRTILE uses a combination of innovative materials and air channels to spread light evenly across surfaces. This smart design reduces the overall weight of the lighting system by up to 50% and lowers CO₂ emissions by 50%, while still delivering high‑quality, visually striking lighting for modern vehicle interiors. Designed to anticipate OEM demand for advanced, interactive, and immersive lighting, AIRTILE enhances both safety and comfort, while maintaining high UX performance in space‑constrained environments.
