Guardian Optical Technologies is a small Israeli startup developing an advanced 3D sensor for automotive safety and passenger awareness. The system detects the presence and position of people in a vehicle scene, with sensitivity spanning from a walking person to a sleeping infant, providing high-confidence detection. Its technology aims to replace traditional cabin-safety inputs such as in-seat pressure sensors, seat-belt sensors, and conventional driver cameras by yielding the location, size, and body posture of each passenger. Using a patent-pending optical approach, it can detect humans even when there is no direct line of sight, and its motion-based classification distinguishes humans from animals and other objects. Based in Tel Aviv-yafo, Tel Aviv, Israel, the company was founded in late 2014; in 2021 it became part of Gentex through an acquisition.
