Zendrive
Smartphone-centric mobility risk intelligence for insurers, fleets, and mobility companies.
Overview
Zendrive is a mobility risk intelligence company that leverages smartphone sensor data and artificial intelligence to analyze driving behavior at scale. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Francisco, Zendrive built the world's most accurate smartphone-centric telematics platform, analyzing over 200 billion miles of driving data from hundreds of millions of users globally.
The company's Mobility Risk Intelligence (MRI) platform turns raw smartphone sensor data into actionable risk signals, enabling insurers, fleets, and mobility companies to better understand and mitigate driving risk. Risk models are reported to be 10x more predictive than traditional industry standards, with demonstrated reductions in collision risk of up to 49%.
In July 2024, Intuit acquired Zendrive's technology and key team members to accelerate Credit Karma's usage-based auto insurance product, Karma Drive -- which had enrolled more than 6 million members and generated over 4 million discounted policy offers for Credit Karma members.
