January 6-9, Las Vegas, NV
Nexar is coming to CES 2026. And we’re bringing BADAS 1.0: the future of ai mobility
Built on billions of miles of real-world driving, BADAS introduces a smarter way to evaluate and improve autonomous and driver-assistance models by using reality as the ground truth.
We’re excited to show how real-world performance measurement can unlock safer products, smarter infrastructure, and more reliable AI systems for the years ahead.
If shaping the future of autonomous mobility speaks to you, book a one-on-one with our team, and let’s see what we can build together.

The Breakthrough
Predictive Intelligence
BADAS is built on Nexar’s unmatched scale of 10B+ real-world miles and 60M+ incident-rich videos, BADAS doesn’t just see the road — it understands it.
It learns from video, sensors, and most importantly, driver behavior. Every brake tap, swerve, hesitation, or acceleration becomes part of a massive reinforcement learning loop. This allows BADAS to anticipate danger before it becomes unavoidable.

Why Nexar? Why Now?
The Long Tail, Captured: Hundreds of rare, high-risk scenarios - the edge cases that break most models.
Multi-Modal Depth: Beyond video - road conditions, environmental cues, historical context, and other drivers’ actions.
Unique unmatched scale: The only open, real-world dataset of this magnitude.
Invitation to build: Train and develop your own safety and autonomy real world models
BADAS is the “Seen It All Before” model. From fender benders to once-in-a-million edge cases, BADAS has been there, and learned from it.
Beyond Reaction
A New Era of Assistance
ADAS (Today) → Reactive. Escapes danger.
BADAS (Tomorrow) → Predictive. Avoids danger.
This shift is more than incremental. It’s the foundation for scalable autonomy. Anticipation is not a feature - it’s the prerequisite for Level 4/5 safety.

From Research to Product
BADAS is in active research — but already delivering measurable breakthroughs.
Collision Anticipation Model: Outperforms industry benchmarks in ego-involved accident anticipation.
Automated Scenario Reconstruction: Transforms collisions and near-misses into 3D simulation-ready assets.
Safety Audit Service: Lets AV/ADAS developers benchmark their models against Nexar’s curated long-tail test sets.
Next steps
The Roadmap Forward
BADAS is designed as a family of models that will scale into a full predictive autonomy stack:
BADAS Preview
Dataset enrichment & pipeline optimization.
BADAS World
Physics-aware driving simulation.
BADAS Reason
Explainable intelligence for AV benchmarking.
OEM Integrations
Embedding proactive ADAS into tomorrow’s vehicles.
Training Progress
Every new mile strengthens BADAS. Current results show monotonic improvements with scale:
State-of-the-art performance today - exponential leaps as we grow.
BADAS is not just a model - it’s an invitation
The rare, messy, and meaningful events that define the unpredictable. We don’t simulate them, we capture them, at scale, from actual roads.
