Massachusetts - based driving solutions firm Smart has developed Driver360 , a platform which uses smartphone sensors and AI to detect and identify road accidents . The system sends an alert – less than half a second after detecting an accident – to driver ’s emergency contact centres , which notify the relevant front - line services . Driver360’s machine learning models were trained on data from in-lab crash tests and telematics sourced from MileUp, a crowdsourced mobile research study that collected over three billion miles of driving reports through phones. The company said Driver360 could also be used to verify insurance claims , and for driver scoring and reporting . Recently , Uber rolled out similar system , Ride Check , which uses GPS and smartphone sensors to detect a crash .
