车载人工智能计算机视觉解决方案供应商Cipia，特拉维夫证券交易所股票代码CPIA，11月23日宣布作为其首次公开发行的一部分，公司目前已筹集2200万美元。Cipia将在特拉维夫证券交易所（简称TASE）开放交易，股票代码为CPIA。
The driver monitoring (DMS) industry is defined by strong legislation in Europe which mandates the necessity of DMS solutions in all new vehicles in the coming years. The European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP), an organization at the forefront of safety standards, added a driver monitoring system to its requirements as part of the vehicle safety rating for future vehicles, with the most comprehensive requirements coming into effect in 2025. Following Euro NCAP’s lead, the European Parliament passed legislation that mandates the gradual integration of DMS software for new vehicle registration from 2024 until 2026.
除了定义驾驶员DMS行业，欧洲法律还规定未来几年所有新车都必须搭载驾驶员监控系统。作为安全标准领域的前沿组织，欧盟新车安全评鉴协会（Euro NCAP）已将驾驶员监控系统纳入更为全面完善的汽车安全等级标准中，该标准将于2025年开始生效。在欧盟新车安全评鉴协会的倡导下，欧盟通过一项立法，要求从2024年到2026年逐步整合用于新车登记的DMS软件。
Designed for integration in new vehicles, the company’s flagship product, Driver Sense, is a driver monitoring system that utilizes AI and computer vision algorithms to monitor important visual cues of the driver in real-time for signs of driver drowsiness, distraction, and other dangerous actions (such as holding a cellphone while driving). Once detected, the DMS enables life-saving alerts and actions.
Cipia旗舰DMS产品Driver Sense专为新车集成设计，利用人工智能和计算机视觉算法实时监控驾驶员重要视觉线索，防范疲劳驾驶、注意力不集中及其他危险驾驶迹象（如驾驶时手持手机），一经监测系统便会启用安全警报及相应措施。
Cipia holds over 70 patents in computer vision AI. The company's H1 2021 revenue totaled $2.6 million, representing a threefold jump over the same period last year. With the advent of DMS regulations around the globe, requests for solutions to meet the requirements are growing at an accelerated pace and the integration of DMS technology is becoming a necessity.
拥有70多项计算机视觉人工智能专利，Cipia 2021年上半年总收入为260万美元，较去年同期增长三倍。随着全球范围内DMS法规相继出台，全球对符合要求的解决方案的需求正呈倍速增长，DMS技术集成已成为大势所趋。
Cipia partnered with Mobileye to integrate the Driver Sense software on Mobileye’s chip. The company estimates that the integrated ADAS and Driver Sense DMS solution provides the market with a more cost-effective offering compared with alternatives in the market, and can assist the company in reaching substantial market share.
Cipia携手MobileEye将驾驶员感知软件集成到MobileEye芯片上。据Cipia估计，与市场上同类解决方案相比，其集成ADAS和Driver Sense驾驶员监控系统的解决方案更具成本效益，或有助于提高公司市场份额。
Cipia also offers Cipia-FS10, a video telematics and driver monitoring device for fleets. Cipia-FS10 provides real-time life-saving alerts to the driver, as well as tailored alerts and insights to fleet management. The solution enables the fleet to be managed more intelligently and efficiently. Cipia-FS10 was launched at the beginning of 2021 and is now being integrated by customers globally.
Cipia还为车队提供远程视频信息处理及驾驶员监控产品Cipia-FS10，该产品为驾驶员提供实时安全警报，并为车队管理提供定制化警报和分析，使车队管理更为智能高效。Cipia-FS10于2021年初推出，目前正在被来自全球各地的客户集成应用。
“The success of the IPO will significantly strengthen our business and competitive status, enabling Cipia to scale up and meet the growing demand for in-cabin sensing solutions,” said David Tolub, CEO of Cipia. “The funding will also enable us to examine strategic acquisitions and promote further collaborations. I would like to thank the company's employees, its customers and, of course, the investors who have joined us in this latest chapter of our journey as well as those who have been with us throughout.
