DENSO to use Foretellix’s Foretify™ platform and the newly announced ADAS & Highway solution to advance safety of DENSO’s next-generation products
Kariya, Japan and Tel Aviv, Israel – November 17th, 2020 – DENSO Corporation, the world’s second-largest mobility supplier, has selected Foretify™, Foretellix’s advanced coverage driven verification platform, to enhance safety and reduce both development costs and time-to-market for its new ADAS and automated driving solutions.
The Foretify™ platform allows for a significant reduction in cost of failure by identifying bugs, edge cases and unknowns early in the development cycle. Foretify™ reduces unnecessary recalls, as well as lowering the cost of testing by providing unparalleled productivity gains through automation. It also allows for a reduction in time to deployment of ADAS and automated driving functions by utilizing proven coverage-driven methodologies. Foretellix recently released an ADAS and Highway solution that provides an out-of-the-box library of scenarios, test suite and a reference verification plan designed to safely deploy current and future generation automated driving functions.
DENSO’s commitment to safety and quality were key considerations throughout this collaboration. “DENSO considers the quality and safety of its ADAS and autonomous vehicles of the outmost importance,” said Tasuku Hayakawa, Manager of DENSO AUTOMOTIVE Deutschland GmbH. “Following a successful pilot earlier this year, DENSO Germany decided to collaborate with Foretellix and to use the Foretify™ platform with a number of DENSO’s ADAS solutions. We see the potential of Foretellix’s intelligent verification platform to enable DENSO to ensure safety as we scale from ADAS solutions to advanced driving solutions.”
“It’s a privilege and an honor to work with DENSO Corporation, a leader in advanced driving systems. We share a common vision on the importance of uncompromising quality and safety. We look forward to working together, combining the power of DENSO’s scale and experience with Fortellix’s coverage driven verification technology,” said Ziv Binyamini, CEO and co-founder of Foretellix.
