Driver and in-vehicle monitoring technology solutions
New safety standards and increased automation have propelled innovations in in‑vehicle monitoring. From driver monitoring systems (DMS) to occupant monitoring, these systems are not only essential to increasing road safety and achieving autonomous driving, but can also add value by monitoring for passenger wellness. Whether they are integrated into the dashboard, information displays, or other locations in the automotive interior, where and how they are integrated can impact their performance. 3M is pioneering technologies to help optimise in-vehicle monitoring sensors — allowing you to place sensors where you want while providing a delightful user experience.
Sensor performance meets design
Placing sensors where they will be most effective does not always align with where they’ll be most appealing. To prioritise performance without compromising the aesthetics of your vehicle interior, 3M has developed a breadth of solutions enabling driver monitoring technology: from sensor design and concealment, to component bonding, and optimisation. Explore how solutions from 3M can innovate your interior.

Design and concealment3M™ Sensor Camouflage Films improve signal‑to‑noise ratio (SNR), minimise solar radiation, and allow for the transmission of infrared (IR) light. While seamlessly integrating into your automotive design, these solutions help conceal sensor components used in in‑vehicle monitoring – such as IR emitters, ToF modules, and driver monitoring cameras, among others – leaving you free to place sensors where they will be most effective.
Explore our display films below for driver monitoring system integration with information displays.

Bonding and joiningBuilding smaller sensors makes integration easier. Having strong, reliable attachments is a necessity. That’s why 3M has a breadth of solutions for permanent bonding that allow for greater flexibility in integration. From low-VOC to flexible printed circuit options, our portfolio of products conform to curved surfaces, bond to dissimilar materials, and withstand the rigors of automotive environments.
