This is like putting a smart fitness tracker on a car instead of on a person. It quietly watches how, when, and where people drive (hard braking, speeding, phone use, time of day, road type) and turns that into a safety score insurers can use to price policies more fairly and nudge safer driving.
Traditional auto insurance pricing is crude: it prices by age, zip code, and claims history, not how someone actually drives. That makes good drivers overpay, bad drivers underpay, and creates low adoption of usage-based insurance (UBI). This solution uses telematics and AI to accurately measure real driving behavior, improve risk selection, reduce loss ratios, and design UBI programs that consumers accept and adopt.
Telematics datasets at scale (billions of miles of driving data), proprietary risk and distraction models, and deep integrations with carrier workflows create a data and switching-cost moat that is hard for new entrants to replicate quickly.

High (Custom Models/Infra)
Continuous ingestion and processing of high-frequency telematics signals (GPS, accelerometer) at national or global scale, plus strict data privacy/compliance requirements, are likely to be the main constraints.
Early Majority
Focuses specifically on solving the adoption barriers of usage-based insurance (privacy concerns, onboarding friction, customer communication) using telematics intelligence and UX, not just providing raw driving data or a scoring API. Emphasis is on carrier-ready programs (pricing, engagement, compliance) rather than generic telematics analytics.
