Foresight Autonomous’ Eye-Net collaborates with Toyota, SoftBank

Foresight Autonomous’ (FRSX) Eye-Net Mobile, collaborated on a research paper presented by Toyota Motor (TM) at the Japanese Society of Automotive Engineers Annual Spring Congress in May. The paper, co-authored by technical teams from Toyota, SoftBank (SFTBY), Eye-Net and TechnoCo. is titled Feasibility Study of a Hazard Avoidance Brake Control System Using V2N Technology. The study explores the potential of vehicle-to-network technology to enhance Advanced Driver Assistance Systems by addressing one of their key limitations, the inability of in-vehicle sensors to detect hazards in non-line-of-sight scenarios. The study examined the use of smartphones as widely available external sensors to enhance hazard detection via V2N communication. The evaluation focused on key factors such as communication latency, tracking accuracy, and the positioning precision of these devices in diverse urban environments. The study highlights the strong potential of V2N technology to enhance ADAS capabilities, improve vehicle safety, and unlock new market opportunities, while also emphasizing the need for advancements in positioning accuracy and the establishment of viable business models to enable widespread commercial adoption.
