Problem
Drivers often lack an affordable, easy-to-use dashcam solution, leading to insufficient video evidence after accidents and higher insurance costs. Traditional dashcams require separate hardware, complex installation, and can be costly, discouraging widespread adoption.
Solution
Weel turns a driver’s smartphone into an AI‑enabled dashcam without the need for additional hardware. The app automatically records road‑facing video (and optionally cabin video) during trips, stores footage in the cloud, and can upload relevant clips to insurers within a minute after an incident. By providing instant video proof, Weel helps users reduce claim processing time and qualify for insurance discounts tied to safe driving. The solution includes a custom phone mount that improves recording stability and lowers accident risk, while preserving user privacy through controllable audio and data settings. All features are delivered through a mobile app available on Google Play, eliminating the need for cables or complex setup.
Target Audience
Weel targets everyday drivers who use smartphones for navigation and want a low‑cost dashcam alternative, as well as insurance companies seeking reliable video evidence and data for safe‑driving incentives.
