Massachusetts-based driving solutions firm Agero has launched Driver360, a platform which uses smartphone sensors and AI to detect and identify road accidents. The system sends an alert – less than half a minute after detecting an incident – to Agero’s emergency contact centres, which notify the relevant front-line services. The company said Driver360 could also be used to verify insurance claims, and for driver scoring and coaching. “Drivers are increasingly being asked to take more responsibility in their own safety,” says Agero.

Recently, Uber rolled out similar system, Ride Check, which uses GPS and smartphone sensors to detect a crash.
