Safety comes first when a driver is involved in an incident, but the aftermath can be challenging. Despite most truck-car accidents caused by passenger vehicles, drivers often struggle to prove their innocence. Our AI-powered dashcams provide clear evidence to protect drivers and simplify claims.

Last month, we asked: Can AI models truly grasp real-world driving incidents? With Nexar’s sensor-enriched dashcam videos, the feedback was overwhelming. Now, our updated benchmark features Gemini 2.5 Pro—a “thinking model” from Google DeepMind. Discover fresh insights into its performance.

The Nexar Crash Prediction Challenge is live! Using 1,500 real-world driving videos, we’re inviting the global AI community to predict collisions before they happen. Help us push the boundaries of AI for safer, smarter mobility.

Women in rideshare keep cities moving but face safety challenges that hold them back. At Nexar, we believe no driver—especially no woman—should feel unsafe while working. This International Women’s Day, let’s push for safer, more inclusive mobility.

The Data Gap Holding AI Models Back and how Nexar's Rare Events Dataset Can Help

With the increased number of bicycle, pedestrian and motorcycle accidents and fatalities over the years, enhancing road safety has never been more critical.

Discover why I’m thrilled to lead Enterprise Growth at Nexar, where we're transforming the automotive and mobility industries with AI-powered dash cams and a vast network of real-time video data.

As we sail through the vast technological oceans of 2023, decision-makers across the globe are contemplating how the formidable blend of generative AI and big data is instigating a revolution in the automotive sector.

What if cars could “communicate” to create a common understanding of the road they are in?

The Third Internet enables the viability of valuable smart services that use smart field sensors to collect & analyze the real world.

Vision data can offer a strategic and competitive advantage that can transform cities, mapping, delivery, public transit and more.

The market for Alternative Data has evolved dramatically in recent years for both buyers and sellers.

Real-time imagery can help understand how behaviour on the streets impacts the spread of COVID-19

DriveOhio, an initiative of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is with Nexar partnering to improve road safety around work zones.

The increase in driving activity across our US network since mid-May is clearly supportive of an economic reopening story.

Our strong growth has created a significant network in over 1,000 US cities. Now, Enter Scosche.

Mobility trends help us understand key facets of regional economic recovery.

We started Nexar on a mission to eliminate road collisions worldwide by using vision-based technology to alert drivers to dangers in real time

Building a connected vehicle network using smart dash cameras connected to smartphones,making it possible to create a near real-time map of roads

There will be many second order effects of autonomous cars. One of them will be the impact on real estate and city planning.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen significant advances in learning-based approaches to the development of automotive safety applications.

We’ve talked in previous posts about the challenges AVs could bring or worsen. However, they’re without a doubt going to make us safer as well.

My name is Amit and I’m the head of product at Nexar. Below is a bit of insight into how I spend my days.

The common thought is that AVs will dramatically reduce congestion. However, strong points are suggesting otherwise

We’re all hearing and now talking about the inevitability of us ditching car ownership in the future. It’s coming from all sides.

10 years from now some people will ride in Autonomous Vehicles in some cities and regions, but it'll take longer for AVs to spread
