Foresight Partners with European Car Manufacturer for Proof-of-Concept Development
Foresight Autonomous announced that it has entered into an agreement with a European car manufacturer for a proof-of-concept to validate Foresight's stereo vision artificial intelligence-based solution for off-road driving scenarios. Under the agreement, Foresight will develop and demonstrate a POC system based on its stereo vision technology, to be installed on the car manufacturer's vehicle platform. The system will provide real-time surroundings analysis ahead of the vehicle, assess off-road passability according to the car manufacturer's vehicle parameters, and display visual guidance on safe and unsafe areas, with support for different field types selected by the user. The POC will include live demonstrations in both daylight and low-light conditions at the car manufacturer's facilities. Upon successful completion and validation of first phase, the parties intend to enter into a joint development agreement for a second phase. This next phase will introduce automatic AI -based field classification, localized sub-region evaluation, a three-level classification output and enhanced robustness for broader environmental variability.
