Driver offers an AI‑powered dash‑cam platform that runs on Android Automotive or a smartphone, capturing high‑definition video and CAN‑bus telemetry and streaming the data to a secure cloud. Cloud‑based computer‑vision models analyze each trip for risky events, generate personalized safety scores and coaching reports, and provide fleet operators with aggregated analytics through RESTful and GraphQL APIs.

Problem
Many drivers lack a reliable, low‑cost system that continuously records vehicle telemetry and video, analyzes driving behavior, and delivers actionable safety insights. Existing dash cams are either isolated devices with limited analytics or expensive telematics solutions that require complex hardware installations, leaving a gap for accessible, AI‑driven safety coaching.
Solution
Driver offers an AI‑powered dash cam platform that runs on Android Automotive or a standard smartphone mounted in the vehicle. The app captures high‑definition video together with CAN‑bus data (speed, engine state, tire pressure, power usage) and streams the raw feed to the Driver Cloud in near real‑time. Cloud‑based computer‑vision models process each trip to detect risky events such as hard braking, unsafe following, or driver distraction, then generate personalized post‑trip coaching reports. Users can review trip videos, telemetry dashboards, and safety scores from any web browser or mobile device, while fleet managers access aggregated analytics via an API. Optional hardware, like the thermoelectric Driver Cooler, ensures device reliability in extreme temperatures, and the BYOM (Bring Your Own Mount) approach simplifies deployment across vehicle types.
Target Audience
The primary customers are safety‑focused consumer drivers, commercial fleet operators (including trucking and delivery services), and educational institutions that teach driver training. Municipalities and infrastructure planners also benefit from aggregated safety data for road‑use analysis.
