Eye-Net Mobile wrapped up its UTAC technology qualification in France, marking another step toward advancing automotive safety and a new chapter in the future of V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) technology applications in this field.
We spoke with Dror Elbaz, Eye-Net’s CEO, to learn about how this will help validate Eye-Net’s technology and its role in enhancing road safety with a focus on ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) solutions.
Q1: What makes these qualifications such a critical moment for Eye-Net Mobile?
Dror Elbaz: The UTAC technology qualifications are important as they take place in a unique, high-stakes environment, validating Eye-Net’s advantages. UTAC is a globally recognized leader in vehicle testing and engineering and their facilities in France and high-end equipment are among the most advanced in the world. The tests allow us the possibility to prove how our real-time collision avoidance system performs in a controlled, yet highly demanding environment. The precision and credibility that UTAC brings to the table will enable us to highlight the accuracy and reliability of our V2X technology.
Q2: How does UTAC’s technological qualifications align with your broader growth objectives?
Dror Elbaz: It touches on several of our partnership goals. First, we aim to showcase Eye-Net’s collision avoidance solution. By testing in such a reputable institution, we can demonstrate that our technology is highly functional under various real-world conditions. Second, these tests will potentially help strengthen Eye-Net’s visibility in the road safety space. UTAC’s reputation for excellence amplifies our standing as an advantageous leader in this field, and successful trial outcomes will create substantial marketing leverage. Finally, we see this as an opportunity to expand our market reach and attract new partners. The results of UTAC’s tests will allow us to solidify existing relationships and open doors for future collaborations by demonstrating our proven effectiveness.
Q3: What specific aspects of Eye-Net’s technology were tested during the UTAC trials?
Dror Elbaz: UTAC focused on several key performance metrics, particularly our system’s real-time capabilities. An important metric is how effectively our system manages latency, an area where we’ve achieved significant results that provide us with a strong competitive advantage in the industry. We also evaluated the accuracy, consistency, and repeatability of our V2X communication in complex environments, especially in situations involving Non-Line-Of-Sight hazards.
These metrics have the potential to showcase the effectiveness and reliability of our solution for real-time data exchange between vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. UTAC’s specialized testing equipment and field validation expertise enabled us to conduct these assessments effectively.
Q4: What role does your collaboration with Software République play in UTAC’s qualification?
Dror Elbaz: Software République, as our partner, are a driving force and add significant value to our qualification process. Their ecosystem, made up of leading companies, provides expertise in digital infrastructure and vehicle systems, ensuring that Eye-Net’s technology integrates smoothly into broader mobility frameworks. The UTAC qualification will allow us to demonstrate the effectiveness of our collision avoidance system, and reinforce the confidence among the SoftWare République ecosystem members and partners.
Q5: To wrap up our interview, how will the outcomes of this validation impact Eye-Net’s future and the broader road safety landscape?
Dror Elbaz: Successful validation will qualify our solution as mission-critical for road safety, potentially opening up new business opportunities. It will also reinforce our position in collision avoidance technology, with far-reaching implications for the future of ADAS and V2X systems globally.
Thank you Dror, and the best of luck!
