73 Iteris has signed a definitive agreement to sell its vehicle sensors business to 737 Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, a member of Knorr-Bremse Group. The sensors business encompasses a portfolio of vehicle active safety systems including lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and blind spot warning, as well as SafetyDirect software that analyses real-time driver performance.
