This App Turns Your iPhone Into An
Intelligent Dash Cam To Avoid Car Accidents
Few
things are more maddening than reckless drivers getting away with it;
especially when it’s your car they’re hitting! That’s why Nexar has launched
the world’s first artificial intelligence dashboard camera app; one that turns
your iPhone into a recording device that can track and report on bad drivers –
and even give you advance warning.
The
app recognizes traffic lights, remembers the license plates of bad drivers,
notices if you break suddenly and records events for you to share them
with insurance companies or police.
How
does Nexar work?
After downloading the app, prop your
smartphone on your car’s dashboard, with its rear camera facing the road
ahead. If someone cuts you off, forcing you to hit the brakes, Nexar asks
you if “something happened?” If you confirm the occurrence by tapping
a button on the screen, the app captures footage from 20 seconds before
and 10 seconds after the incident and sends it to the company’s database for
archival, therefore collecting factual proof of the event.

Nexar’s
natural partners: Insurance companies
Undeterred,
Nexar follows the trend of driver assistance systems, started by Israeli
company Mobileye, the pioneer in
this field. Nexar also integrated with top Israeli navigation app Waze
to provide real-time alerts of car crashes and other disruptions to the
regular traffic flow.
To
generate revenue, the company – which was founded by Eran Shir, former
manager of Yahoo’s Creation Innovation Center in Israel, along
with entrepreneur Bruno Fernandez-Ruiz – plans to work with insurance
companies by providing documentation on car accidents.
Si
nce
last year, Nexar has raised $14.5 million from investors. As of now, Nexar is
available on iOS devices in some areas in California as well as in Tel Aviv,
with plans to expand into additional cities in the future.
