Foresight: Eye-Net Achieves Euro NCAP Compliance Validation from UTAC for its Cellular V2X Solution
Rhea-AI Summary
Foresight Autonomous Holdings (FRSX) announced that its subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile, successfully passed rigorous field tests conducted by UTAC, a French vehicle testing organization, under Euro NCAP regulations. The validation was part of Eye-Net's collaboration with Software République to deploy its digital services in France.
The tests evaluated Eye-Net's cellular vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology using an autonomous vehicle and automated validation platforms. The system achieved a 100% success rate in simulated collision scenarios, consistently triggering the autonomous vehicle's emergency braking system with alert timing variations of less than 20 milliseconds.
According to Eye-Net's CEO Dror Elbaz, UTAC's validation marks a significant milestone that could facilitate expansion into the automotive market and create opportunities for partnerships with automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

Insights
The successful Euro NCAP compliance validation from UTAC represents a critical technical milestone for Eye-Net's V2X solution. The perfect 100% success rate in collision prevention scenarios and sub-20ms alert timing variation demonstrate exceptional technical precision that surpasses typical industry standards. V2X technology market penetration is projected to grow from 18.2% in 2023 to over 40% by 2028, making this validation particularly timely.
The successful UTAC testing specifically validates two important aspects: first, the system's ability to trigger autonomous emergency braking systems reliably and second, its compliance with stringent Euro NCAP protocols. For context, Euro NCAP certification is essentially the gold standard for automotive safety in Europe and achieving compliance significantly enhances product marketability to major OEMs.
The validation's timing aligns with the accelerating V2X adoption in France and broader EU markets, where upcoming regulatory frameworks increasingly favor V2X-enabled safety systems. Software République's involvement suggests potential integration pathways with major French automotive manufacturers.
From a market perspective, this validation significantly strengthens Eye-Net's competitive position in the $2.5 billion V2X market. The collaboration with Software République, a consortium including Renault and other major tech players, provides a clear commercialization pathway in the French market. The automotive safety systems market has been experiencing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 12%, with V2X solutions commanding premium valuations.
