Iteris' Lane Departure Warning System Earns Highest Industry Recognition, Receives 2005 Automotive News PACE Award

ANAHEIM, Calif.--April 13, 2005--Iteris, Inc. (AMEX:ITI), a leader in the development of vision-based technology that enhances driver safety, today announced that its Lane Departure Warning (LDW) technology, jointly developed for Nissan with Valeo, won a 2005 PACE Award (Automotive Suppliers' & OEMs Contributions to Excellence) in the product innovation category. The award, which is sponsored by Automotive News, was presented Monday during a ceremony held in conjunction with the 2005 Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) World Congress in Detroit.

"We are honored to be recognized with this prestigious award for a product we believe will ultimately become as important to vehicle safety as the seatbelt," said Jack Johnson, CEO of Iteris, Inc. "This award further illustrates Iteris' leading role in the introduction of new vision-based safety technologies that help prevent accidents," concluded Johnson.

The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system was first installed by Infiniti last fall as an option on its FX crossover SUVs. Most recently, it became available as an option on the all-new 2006 Infiniti M mid-size luxury sedans.

The Iteris Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system uses a vision-based camera and proprietary software algorithms to monitor the lane markings in front of the vehicle. If a driver makes an unintentional lane departure (without using a turn signal), the system automatically emits an audible warning that alerts the driver to take corrective action.

The PACE Award program was established in 1994 by Automotive News and Cap Gemini Ernst & Young (CGE&Y), and has become a significant industry credential. The annual competition is sponsored by Automotive News, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, and the Transportation Research Center, Inc.

The PACE Award recognizes innovative automotive suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) that have adapted to keep on top of the changing landscape of automobile manufacturing. Judging is conducted by an independent panel of experts comprised from academia as well as the commercial side of the auto industry.

Iteris adds this PACE Award accolade to an impressive list of honors that the LDW system has already received in the last year. These include being named one of "Ten Gadgets That Will Improve Your Life" by the editors at Forbes.com; CAA Pyramid Award for Safety Innovation; one of 50 leading technology innovations on the 'Scientific American 50'; 'One of the Most Valuable Products to be Introduced in Trucking for 2004' by RoadStar Magazine; and to the 'Nifty Fifty' Best Products' list by Heavy Duty Trucking Magazine.
