Gauzy Ltd. (Nasdaq: GAUZ) (“Gauzy” or the “Company”), a leading developer and manufacturer of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), today announced the implementation of its cutting-edge ‘Smart-Vision’ Camera Monitoring System (CMS) on a portion of the city of Paris’s buses, beginning with the 2024 Olympics. According to Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee and Île-de-France Mobilités, the key goal this year is to enable every spectator to get to the Olympic and Paralympic venues using public transport. With an expected 11.3 million visitors according to Je t'aime, Paris’ official tourism board, including athletes, tourists, and spectators from around the world, Gauzy's innovative technology aims to play a crucial role in reducing the risk of on road accidents to enhance public safety with its products that mitigate blind spots and optimize drivers' visibility in city buses.

Gauzy's innovative Smart-Vision CMS technology replaces traditional side mirrors with high-definition cameras and interior displays, providing bus drivers with a comprehensive view of their surroundings. The product is currently implemented in city buses by some of the world’s leading OEMs, such as Man, Irizar, Scania, Hess, and Van Hool. This advanced system significantly improves situational awareness, enabling drivers to detect pedestrians, cyclists, vulnerable road users (VRUs) and other vehicles with greater ease to reduce accidents. According to a study conducted by Geneva Public Transport, Gauzy’s Smart-Vision is proven to reduce costs associated with accidents by up to 40%. "As Paris welcomes the world for the 2024 Olympics, the safety and efficiency of public transportation become even more paramount," said Eyal Peso, CEO and Co-Founder of Gauzy. "Our Smart-Vision CMS technology is designed to address the unique challenges of urban driving, particularly in a bustling city like Paris with an influx of occupants. We are proud to contribute to the safety of the city's residents and visitors during this significant event."

Gauzy is committed to enabling cities to take a proactive approach to enhance public transportation, safety and efficiency, while also considering concerns caused by an increase in micro-mobility. Paris joins multiple cities worldwide, including London, Brisbane, and Lyon that have already selected Gauzy's Smart-Vision CMS to make a positive impact on road safety.

With millions of visitors expected to attend the Olympics and encouraged to use public transport to navigate between 50 sessions per day and 25 venues, the enhanced safety measures provided by Gauzy's technology will be instrumental in managing the increased demand on public transportation. The deployment of Gauzy's technology in Parisian buses aligns with the city's commitment to smart mobility solutions and sustainable urban transportation, and comes at a critical time ahead of the Olympics.

In addition to improving safety, Gauzy's smart-vision CMS offers several other benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Driver Comfort: The system reduces driver fatigue by providing clear and consistent visuals, regardless of weather conditions or time of day, improving confidence to make real-time, lifesaving decisions.
  • Energy Efficiency: The aerodynamic design of the CMS reduces drag, contributing to overall fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
  • Advanced Features: The system includes features such as automatic brightness adjustment and maneuver assistance systems to further assist drivers.

Gauzy is proud to play an integral role in public safety, especially at one of the biggest events in the world. Gauzy looks forward to continuing its partnership with leading bus OEMs and networks, ensuring cities offer safer and smarter transportation for all.
