Multi-Billion-Dollar VRU Detection Market Unlocking New Growth Opportunities
Advanced radar-based safety technology gains traction across automotive and smart-city markets
From a market standpoint, the numbers point to a strong growth runway. The global VRU detection market was valued at approximately
Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, RF-based VRU sensing platforms are positioned to benefit from both automotive and infrastructure spending cycles. Automakers are integrating more radar-heavy safety stacks, while cities are deploying RF sensors at intersections, crosswalks, and high-risk zones. For investors, this market offers exposure to long-term safety mandates, recurring platform upgrades, and cross-sector adoption—creating a compelling opportunity within the broader smart mobility and automotive safety ecosystem.
VisionWave (NASDAQ: VWAV) Announces Successful Live Demonstration of SaverOne's (NASDAQ: SVRE) RF-Based VRU Platform -
The demonstration provided a real-world illustration of the platform's ability to detect and alert drivers to human presence and movement in complex, dynamic, and visually challenged environments.
A Demonstration That Speaks for Itself:

Conducted on a controlled, the demonstration placed the SaverOne VRU platform into a moving vehicle scenario designed to replicate real driving conditions showing its ability to detect pedestrians in different non line of sight scenarios including at night:
- System Engagement: As the vehicle began moving, the VRU system activated seamlessly, continuously scanning the environment in real time.
- Early Human Detection: Moments later, the system identified a nearby pedestrian, and will display visual indicator on the central screen of the vehicle accompanied by an audible alert, signaling awareness before any visible danger appeared.
- Escalation to Imminent Risk: As the vehicle progressed, the alert will be escalated to a red warning indicator, flagging a potential collision risk as a pedestrian is crossing into the vehicle's projected path.
- Challenging Conditions: The test unfolded the ability to detect 2 pedestrians hidden by 2 different cars and also at a total darkness conditions, — a setting intentionally chosen to stress the system under real-world complexity.
The sequence illustrated how RF-based sensing can provide earlier, actionable awareness, offering drivers critical reaction time in scenarios where conventional camera, radar, or LiDAR systems may be constrained by line-of-sight limitations or adverse conditions.
Seeing Beyond What Cameras Can See - As previously disclosed, VisionWave and SaverOne have entered into a strategic exchange agreement under which VisionWave may, upon achievement of specified milestones, regulatory approvals, and other closing conditions, acquire up to approximately 51% of SaverOne on a fully diluted basis.
Unlike traditional ADAS solutions that depend on direct visual input, SaverOne's VRU platform is designed to detect and localize vulnerable road users even when they are obscured, concealed, or outside direct line-of-sight — including in adverse weather, urban clutter, or visually degraded environments.
By analyzing RF interactions associated with mobile devices carried by pedestrians and other road users, the system enables earlier detection and trajectory assessment, potentially providing earlier detection and trajectory assessment in certain conditions.
From Road Safety to Broader Operational Awareness - While initially developed to enhance automotive safety and urban mobility, VisionWave is evaluating whether the underlying RF detection architecture may have relevance far beyond the road.
The Company is evaluating applications across transportation, infrastructure, and security environments where visibility is limited or unreliable. In parallel, VisionWave is exploring potential applications in defense and security contexts, including deployment on unmanned aerial systems (UAS), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and fixed installations, where RF-based sensing may assist in detecting and tracking human movement behind terrain, structures, or other obstacles (subject to further development, testing, and validation).
