Asia Tech Wire (May 8) -- Chinese automaker Geely has entered into a partnership with Israeli automotive safety technology startup Foretellix on accelerating the development of autonomous vehicles.

Foretellix and Geely will collaborate to integrate Foretellix's Foretify platform with Geely's development, verification and validation (V&V) flows, as well as advanced simulators, a statement showed Tuesday.

The Foretify Platform will enable efficient synthetic data generation for AI training, automated scenario-based virtual testing, large-scale failure triage, performance and KPIs assessment, and ODD coverage measurement, Foretellix said.

And the platform will be used to automatically analyze driving logs from Geely's test vehicles and replay numerous variations in virtual simulation to maximize the utilization of physical drives.

Foretellix, a provider of safety-driven V&V solutions for autonomous driving systems and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), with offices in China, Japan, the U.S. and Europe.

Last December, the Israeli startup announced the completion of an $85 million Series C funding round.

Foretellix has secured investments from Toyota, Nvidia, Temasek and others, and its customers include Volvo and Daimler.
