"The excitement for Foresight's life-saving automotive vision solutions continues to grow," commented Foresight Chief Executive Officer Haim Siboni. "Most recently, our innovative QuadSight vision system drew a tremendous amount of attention at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. We have also seen considerable progress in China, as Foresight concluded pilot programs with multiple leading Chinese car manufacturers during 2017. In the coming year, we will continue to leverage our industry-leading technology through pilot tests and commercial partnerships, leading us to long-term success."
