Parties are collaborating in a multi-phase plan to assess Eye-Net’s technology as a potential ADAS system for the manufacturer’s vehicles
Ness Ziona, Israel, July 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), an innovator in automotive vision solutions, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile Ltd. (“Eye-Net”), has signed a three-way multi-phase agreement for a paid proof of concept (POC) project with SoftBank Corp. (Tokyo: 9434) (“SoftBank”) and a Japanese vehicle manufacturer. SoftBank will provide the required cellular network infrastructure and support for the project.
The project is part of a multi-phase plan to be initiated during the third quarter of 2024. The initial phase will consist of an evaluation of Eye-Net™ Sense demonstration kit in a standalone mode. Upon successful evaluation, the parties may engage in the second phase of integrating Eye-Net Sense into the vehicle manufacturer’s infotainment systems. Successful completion of the first two phases could lead to the integration of the Eye-Net Sense solution into the manufacturer’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), potentially leading to full commercial deployment in the manufacturer’s vehicles.
“This agreement marks a significant advancement for Eye-Net and an additional initiative in Japan's automotive sector aimed at significantly improving road safety. By combining SoftBank's extensive network of partners and large user base with the vehicle manufacturer's widespread driver and vehicle presence, Eye-Net holds the potential to protect millions of road users across the country from non-line-of-sight collisions,” said Dror Elbaz, CEO of Eye-Net.
