Magna ramps up driver monitoring system (DMS) business in China
Magna says it is marking its first full year of scaled global production of its Driver Monitoring System (DMS), launched with a Germany-based OEM in China. This, it says, began with initial launch volumes in China and ‘reflects Magna’s accelerating growth in the world’s largest automotive market’.
Magna’s DMS technology is fully integrated into the vehicle’s interior mirror, using advanced camera and sensor systems to monitor driver attention and behaviour in real time. The system helps detect signs of distraction and drowsiness, alerting the driver and supporting accident prevention. Its unique design enables discreet integration behind the mirror glass, reducing visual intrusiveness for drivers while offering automakers styling flexibility and supporting compliance with evolving safety regulations.
“Our mirror-integrated DMS has proven itself globally, and we’re proud to see it scaling with a leading German OEM,” said Matteo Del Sorbo, President, Mechatronics, Mirrors and Lighting at Magna. “This milestone reflects our commitment to safety innovation and our ability to deliver advanced technologies to customers.”

The system’s scalable architecture enables adaptation to different vehicle platforms and future regulatory requirements, supporting OEMs in delivering next-generation safety and user experience. In addition to driver monitoring, the system includes occupant detection capabilities, supporting broader interior sensing strategies.
With the continued deployment of its DMS technology in China, Magna is deepening its commitment to the region and supporting OEMs in meeting both regulatory and consumer expectations for next-generation safety. The program represents one of Magna’s largest DMS awards to date, with volumes ‘expected to reach several million units annually’, according to Magna.
