BEIJING: Mobileye NV expects its China sales to increase "exponentially" after the country moves to require advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in all buses and trucks, an executive said. 

A government announcement on regulations requiring basic autonomous driving functions for large commercial vehicles, such as alerting drivers when they veer from their lane or are about to hit a pedestrian, could come soon, sales director David Oberman told reporters in Beijing.
