Leading European vehicle manufacturer orders QuadSight™ prototype

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today the additional sale of a prototype of its breakthrough QuadSight™ quad-camera vision system. The QuadSight™ multi-camera vision solution targets the semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle market and is designed to allow near-100 percent obstacle detection with near zero false alerts under any weather and lighting conditions. The stereoscopic technology system was ordered by the truck division of one of Europe's largest vehicle manufacturers. Revenue from the prototype system sale is expected to total tens of thousands of dollars.

This is the second sale of QuadSight™ prototype system to a leading European original equipment manufacturer (OEM) demonstrating the company's clear strategy to cooperate with leading European OEMs. According to a Mordor Intelligence report earlier this year, the long-term market potential for autonomous vehicles and advanced accident prevention systems is projected at $60 billion by 2030, with automotive vision and V2X technological solutions playing a key role in reaching that target.

Foresight believes that sales of QuadSight™ prototypes will strengthen its relations with potential customers. Customer satisfaction at the end of the evaluation process is expected to lead to a large order of QuadSight™ systems by the vehicle manufacturer for mass production.

"This is the third order from different automotive manufacturers Foresight has received over the last 3 months, showing the industry's interest in the company's revolutionary technology," said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. "In addition, it proves that the industry has a strong need for an all-weather and lighting conditions vision system for semi and fully autonomous vehicles."

By selling additional prototypes, Foresight intends to increase awareness of its unique solutions, address potential customers, and expand its presence with vehicle manufacturers and Tier One automotive suppliers. Foresight believes that a closer evaluation of the technology by potential customers may lead to future collaborations in research and development, integration, production and more.

About QuadSight™

Foresight first launched a demo of its QuadSight™ system last January at the CES show in Las Vegas. Foresight regards QuadSight™ as the industry's most accurate quad-camera vision system, offering exceptional obstacle detection for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle safety. Using proven, highly advanced image-processing algorithms, QuadSight™ uses four-camera technology that combines two pairs of stereoscopic infrared and daylight cameras. QuadSight™ is designed to achieve near-100% obstacle detection with near zero false alerts under any weather or lighting conditions – including complete darkness, rain, haze, fog and glare.

Stereoscopic vision technology's exceptional three-dimensional (3D) images, detection and accuracy are essential for safe and reliable semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle vision systems. Stereoscopic cameras exceed a human driver's ability to see objects in real time, whether large or small, in-motion or static, and from short or long-range distances. The dynamic driving environment demands a level of accuracy that only stereoscopic cameras can provide.
