Swedish Tech Firm Terranet Advances BlincVision Collision Avoidance System Towards Commercialization

Swedish technology company Terranet is making significant progress in developing and commercializing its innovative collision avoidance system, BlincVision. The system integrates laser scanners, event cameras, and AI-based software designed to enhance traffic safety by detecting movements and obstacles within milliseconds, especially in complex urban environments where split-second reactions are critical.

According to Terranet's Chief Technology Officer, Pierre Ekwall, BlincVision mimics human vision by using event cameras that respond to environmental changes rather than analyzing full images, enabling the system to react up to ten times faster than traditional anti-collision technologies. This speed is vital as traffic accidents remain a major global public health challenge, with the World Health Organization estimating approximately 1.19 million annual fatalities worldwide.

Terranet recently launched a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) version of BlincVision, which is currently undergoing testing and evaluation by external partners. Feedback has been promising, with partners impressed by the system's quick and efficient performance. While initially targeted at improving safety within urban traffic, Terranet sees potential applications for BlincVision beyond the automotive industry, including in defense, industrial, and agricultural sectors where rapid decision-making is equally important.

Despite challenges in developing such advanced sensor technology, Terranet is now in a crucial phase focusing on business development and preparing the technology for broader commercialization. The company plans to continue evaluations and foster long-term partnerships through 2026 to fully realize BlincVision's market potential.
