Founded in 2018 by Rashid Galadanci and Marcus Newbury in Detroit, the company is now headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Driver Technologies built a free, AI-powered mobile app that transforms any smartphone into an intelligent dash cam with advanced driver assistance features, including forward collision alerts, drowsiness detection, distraction warnings, and real-time coaching. The app has been downloaded in over 170 countries. The company's core innovation is "contextual telematics" that captures high-definition accelerometer and gyroscope data at 30 hertz through a driver's smartphone, compared to traditional telematics' one-hertz location data. This data, combined with computer vision, powers the Driver Score, the first video-telematics-based risk score using only a mobile device. Insurance carriers use the Driver Score for underwriting and risk classification as an alternative to traditional demographic and credit-based factors. Driver Technologies has raised $22.8 million in total funding from investors including Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, State Auto Labs, IA Capital, and CT Innovations. The company serves insurance carriers, commercial fleets, and individual drivers through partnerships with carriers such as AXA XL, Brazos Specialty Risk Insurance, VOOM Insurance, and Stable Insurance. In 2025, Driver Technologies launched its app on Android Automotive Operating System, making it available in the infotainment systems of vehicles from 14 OEM brands including General Motors, Nissan, and Volvo. The company reported approximately $6.3 million in annual revenue in 2025 with around 20 employees. ## Products & services ### Driver Mobile App Smartphone-based dash cam and telematics solution with AI-powered safety features, available on iOS, Android, and Android Automotive OS. **Key features:** - Dash Cam mode with external and internal video recording - Pocket Drives mode for telemetry without video - Forward collision warnings via computer vision - Driver drowsiness and distraction detection - Cloud\-based video storage with 90\-day lookback - AI\-powered personalized coaching after each trip - Augmented reality turn\-by\-turn navigation - Apple CarPlay integration - Insurance discounts of up to 50% from 40\+ national providers *Target users:* Rideshare drivers, commercial drivers, personal vehicle owners, fleet drivers ### Driver Cloud Cloud platform for trip storage, fleet management, and data analysis accessible via web browser or mobile app. **Key features:** - Unlimited trip uploads with unlimited lookback window - Video, location, speed, G\-force, and weather data display - Video\-based driver scoring and coaching - Driver data sharing with managers, insurers, and family members - Fleet analytics and monitoring dashboard - Searchable database for filtering by roadways, vehicles, weather, and time - Used by Fortune 500 companies for large data set analysis *Target users:* Insurance carriers, fleet managers, enterprise customers, individual drivers ### Driver Score First video-telematics-based risk score using only a mobile device for insurance underwriting. **Key features:** - Behavior\-based scoring \(hard braking, speeding, acceleration, smooth driving\) - Benchmarked against nationwide data sets - Adaptive algorithm rewarding sustained good driving - Insurance carrier integration for underwriting and classification - Privacy\-controlled sharing with insurers *Target users:* Insurance carriers, MGAs, fleet managers ### Contextual Telematics Platform Advanced telematics data collection and analysis platform for insurance and fleet integration. **Key features:** - 30 hertz accelerometer and gyroscope data - High\-definition location tracking - Edge\-based AI processing \(no video upload required for alerts\) - Insurance carrier API integration - Risk scoring and behavior analysis *Target users:* Insurance carriers, fleet managers, MGAs ### Insurance Carrier Referral Program Partnership program giving carriers instant access to telematics and video data while providing recurring revenue and policyholder discounts. **Key features:** - Instant carrier access to telematics and video data - Recurring revenue stream for participating insurers - Insurance discounts passed to insureds - Commercial and personal carrier support - Fleet referral capabilities *Target users:* Insurance carriers, brokers, fleet partners ### HONK Roadside Assistance Co-branded roadside assistance solution integrated into the Driver app. **Key features:** - In\-app roadside assistance requests - Network of 108,000\+ background\-checked service vehicles - AI\-powered closest provider matching - No third\-party redirect required *Target users:* All Driver app users ## Category & focus - Subcategories: AI Dash Cam, Driver Safety, Contextual Telematics, Usage\-Based Insurance, Fleet Management - Insurance verticals: P&C \(Auto, Commercial Auto\) - Target customers: Carriers, Fleet Operators, Brokers, Rideshare Drivers, Consumers ## Notable customers - AXA XL Ecosystem members - Brazos Specialty Risk Insurance policyholders - VOOM Insurance policyholders - Stable Insurance rideshare drivers - Getaround carsharing users \(pilot program\) ## Links - Website: - Directory profile: - Support: - Linkedin: - Driver cloud: --- *Last updated: 2026\-03\-25*
