SaverOne Enters ADAS Market - Leveraging its new Gen-2 Technology for Detection of Vulnerable Road Users

Completed successful Proof-of-Concept with major European bus and truck OEM

PETAH TIKVAH, Israel, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE) (TASE: SVRE), a technology company engaged in transportation safety solutions, today announced it has completed a proof-of-concept (POC) demonstration with a major European bus and truck manufacturer with significant global sales, which is a new partner for SaverOne.

The proof-of-concept demonstrated SaverOne's new and unique solution for Vulnerable Road Users and pedestrian (VRU) detection, based on its second-generation technology announced last week. SaverOne's VRU technology significantly enhances the performance of current Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) sensors (i.e. camera, lidar and radar) through its superior abilities to deal with NLoS (non-line of sight) hazards, adverse weather conditions and low-visibility.

SaverOne's solution detects VRUs in the vicinity of the vehicle, to avoid and prevent a collision. It does this by detecting the exact location and direction of movement of the VRU via their RF footprint from their cellphone signals, under all visibility conditions.

Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, commented, "This marks our entrance into a huge and new market for us: the ADAS sensor market. Leveraging our second-generation technology, we bring new and unique safety capabilities, overcoming limitations that current ADAS sensors have. Our new VRU solution, together with our current in-cab solution for preventing driver distraction, creates further strong growth potential for us, both in the OEM and the after-market."

Mr. Gilboa commented further, "We are very proud to have been given the opportunity to successfully demonstrate our technology to this leading truck and bus OEM. Discussions continue with the OEM for providing both an after-market and integrated solution. We look forward to taking our relationship with this manufacturer to this next level. Our long-term goal is that this technology will be integrated into the vehicle manufacture process and offered by global OEMs to their customers."

About SaverOne System
SaverOne's system is installed in vehicles to provide a solution to the problem of driver distraction that results from drivers using specific distracting applications on the mobile device while driving, in a way that endangers their safety and the safety of passengers. This phenomenon is considered one of the main causes of road accidents in the world. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the annual cost of road accidents just in the United States, stands at about $870 billion each year, excluding the costs of serious injury or death, with a quarter of those accidents estimated to be related to the use of the mobile device while driving. SaverOne's technology specifically recognizes the driver area in the vehicle and prevents the driver from accessing distracting applications such as messaging, while allowing others (e.g. navigation), without user intervention or consent, creating a safer driving environment.

SaverOne's primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets that are interested in reducing potential damages and significant cost, vehicle manufacturers that are interested in integrating safety solutions to their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially addresses car fleets with focus on the Israeli, European and US markets, as well as other markets around the world. SaverOne believes that ultimately increased focus on monitoring and prevention of cellular distraction systems in vehicles, in particular driven by upcoming expected EU regulation, will likely have a dramatic positive impact on the demand for its systems in the future.

The Company's strategy is to provide its technology for installation to customers in the aftermarket as well as address OEM vehicle manufacturers, to install the Company's protection technologies during the vehicle manufacturing process.  

About SaverOne
SaverOne is a technology company engaged in the design, development and commercialization of OEM and aftermarket solutions and technologies, to lower the risk of, and prevent, vehicle accidents. 

SaverOne's initial line of products is a suite of solutions that saves lives by preventing car accidents resulting from distraction from the use of mobile phones while driving. SaverOne is also developing a sensor system for early location and direction detection under all visibility conditions of vulnerable road users (VRU) through their cellphone footprint.
