Netradyne Bets on AI to Curb Road Accidents, Expands to 15 Countries by 2026

0

Global supplier of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered fleet and driver safety solutions Netradyne is counting on technology to address road accidents and enhance driver behavior as it gets ready to grow its footprint to 15 nations by 2026.

Headquartered in San Diego, the company also has offices in Bangalore and San Francisco. It intends to enter Japan and Spain in 2025 and expand its presence to Ireland, France, and Italy the following year. It operates commercially in ten nations, including the United States, India, Canada, Mexico, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand.

“As road safety becomes a global priority, our AI-driven solutions offer a compelling case for adoption,” said Durgadutt Nedungadi, Senior Vice President, EMEA and APAC, Netradyne. “India remains a critical R&D hub, playing a central role in developing technology that has a global impact.”

Netradyne joined the Unicorn club following a $90 million Series D fundraising earlier this year that raised its value to $1.34 billion. It now employs over 650 people in India and about 850 globally.

Growth Plan

Netradyne’s growth strategy is to expand quickly without significant infrastructure expenditures. The firm already operates in various foreign marketplaces using remote staff, hence guaranteeing agility and cost-effectiveness. In Europe, beyond the five upcoming markets, the company is also eyeing other regions for growth opportunities.

The expansion comes amid growing global concerns about road safety, with governments and private players seeking innovative technologies to prevent accidents and improve transportation standards.

How Driver•i Functions

Netradyne Driver i

Netradyne’s core product is “Driver•i,” a complex fleet safety system. Driver•i analyzes 100% of driving time using artificial intelligence and computing, hence providing real-time feedback and in-depth insights on driver behaviour. The system, equipped with sophisticated cameras and sensors, identifies situations including tiredness, inattentive driving, speeding, and severe braking.

Driver’i offers actionable insights by means of contextual data analysis—road conditions, traffic patterns, and driver behaviors among other things—thereby enabling fleet management to properly coach drivers. Unlike conventional dashcams that just capture events, Driver•i runs proactively, providing predictive analytics to stop accidents before they happen.

In the event of false claims, Driver.i’s real-time video intelligence helps to clear drivers and increases operational transparency for fleet operators. The platform’s edge computing feature reduces and improves responsiveness by processing critical tasks locally on the device.

Eminent Transit New Partnership


Further strengthening its footprint in India, Netradyne has announced a partnership with Eminent Transit, a corporate and employee transportation services provider with operations in over 160 cities.

To improve safety, efficiency, and passenger comfort, Eminent Transit will use Netradyne’s Driver·i technology throughout its fleet of more than 1,500 cars. The integration is particularly intended to enhance late-night travel safety for women employees, a critical topic in corporate mobility services.

“We serve over 70 corporates with executive-class transportation services. Safety is a non-negotiable expectation from our clients, and Netradyne’s technology ensures we meet and exceed those standards,” said Ravi Kiran, CEO of Eminent Transit.

The cooperation also signals Netradyne’s further entry into the corporate fleet sector in India, a market projected to experience rising demand for safe and dependable mobility solutions in the next years.

Growing Worldwide Using Artificial Intelligence
Netradyne’s products are already used globally by over 3,000 enterprises; their technology runs in over 450,000 cars. Netradyne in India has already collaborated with few companies including Shell, Indian Oil Skytanking, Writer Safeguard, and Greenline.

The company is also collaborating with government bodies such as NITI Aayog and the Ministry of Road Transport on projects related to advanced driver monitoring, including drowsiness detection technologies.

 Nedungadi said, “Solutions like Driver•i are becoming necessary tools as global fleet operators under pressure to improve safety standards, lower insurance costs, and strengthen driver retention.”

Future Technology Development and Outlook


Netradyne’s commitment to R&D is rooted in India, where the firm runs its core design, development, and testing labs. Critical for providing quick and accurate insights in real-world driving conditions, the company’s developers concentrate on deep learning models, computer vision, and edge AI.

Its emphasis on edge computing sets the business apart from its rivals. Driver•i provides quicker incident detection and reporting by processing data locally instead of depending totally on cloud servers, hence enabling real-time coaching and accident prevention.

Netradyne is, thus, aiming to access related fields such improved driver-assist technology and autonomous vehicle monitoring in particular. Especially with tighter transportation safety rules being applied across North America, Europe, and Asia, the need for AI-powered fleet safety solutions is projected to rise dramatically.

The turning point came when mid-size businesses began actively inquiring about and adopting SAP’s AI-driven cash forecasting solution, said Rajeev Singh, Head of Corporate Business, SAP Indian Subcontinent.

Singh described this as a defining shift, noting that once CFOs started to engage deeply with to solve core financial forecasting challenges, the conversation around AI adoption in enterprises became serious and urgent.

“Cash forecasting became our Ghibli moment – it’s when CFOs, traditionally the hardest to convince, began asking us how quickly they could implement this AI capability,” Singh told The Mobile Indian in an exclusive interaction.

From Boardroom Hype to Operational Necessity

From excitement to pragmatic fact, artificial intelligence has changed. While Singh contends that in businesses the expectations are greater, tools like ChatGPT bring artificial intelligence into families and public debate. End users in businesses today want AI-infused procedures that mirror the intuitive experiences they have had in personal tools. Singh underlines, however, that enterprise artificial intelligence has to be domain-specific, traceable, and secure in addition to simplicity of use.

“The key questions in enterprise AI are: Is the model relevant to my domain? Can I trace back the decision logic? Is the data being used secure and compliant?” Singh said. SAP uses a framework it refers to as “3Rs” – relevant, responsible, and reliable AI – for guiding AI deployment in enterprise systems.

Security and Data Responsibility Take Centre Stage

In contrast to open, public AI tools, enterprise users remain concerned about data security and intellectual property. Singh cautioned against feeding sensitive data into open AI platforms, noting the potential exposure of competitive information.

SAP’s approach ensures that training data for AI stays within the organisation’s ecosystem. Its AI models focus on vertical-specific use cases, offering contextual solutions for finance, HR, procurement, and other departments. For example, Singh explained how their AI system can predict cash availability for salary payments on future dates by analysing inputs from treasury, loans, accounts receivable, and external factors.

High Adoption Rates and Persona-Specific Deployment

According to SAP’s internal survey, 96% of mid-size business owners now consider AI a top strategic priority. SAP has responded by embedding AI into 180 use cases and plans to expand to 400 across departments.

The modular design allows business heads to select specific AI tools relevant to their function. HR heads are using AI to auto-generate job descriptions, screen resumes with reduced bias, and structure interview questions. Procurement leaders are leveraging AI to monitor legal and reputational risks associated with long-term suppliers, using SAP’s global business network.

For CIOS and Chief Digital Officers, SAP offers solutions that map dependencies across complex IT infrastructures, helping them simplify and modernise legacy systems with predictive insights.

Convincing the CFO: The Hardest and Most Crucial Win

Singh acknowledged that CFOs and CLOs are often the most cautious adopters of new technologies due to their roles in ensuring compliance and managing cost structures. But once they see measurable outcomes, such as improved cash visibility or reduced risk exposure, they often become the strongest internal advocates for AI adoption.

This, Singh noted, has been SAP’s internal tipping point. By embedding AI into the financial core of the enterprise and solving a tangible pain point like cash forecasting, SAP has moved AI from a peripheral innovation to a strategic imperative.

“Once the CFO is convinced, the rest of the organisation gets time and space to follow,” he said.

Future Outlook

While SAP’s embedded AI use cases already provide substantial value to clients, Singh said the company also enables businesses to develop their own AI tools through a secure and compliant development environment. This flexibility ensures that enterprises can customise AI solutions to unique needs, beyond the standard modules.

SAP’s roadmap includes deeper vertical integration of AI, with a continued focus on solving persona-specific challenges. The company also aims to extend the reach of its AI-driven systems into smaller enterprises, aligning with broader trends of AI democratisation in business.

As organisations across sectors prepare for increased AI integration, SAP’s bet on secure, relevant, and traceable AI may prove to be a cornerstone in the evolving landscape of enterprise transformation.

Motorola Launches New Moto AI Features, Also Partners with Perplexity AI

0

Motorola has announced the launch of new Moto features including Image Studio, Playlist Studio, Next Move, and more, along with a partnership with Perplexity AI and other major players as well, such as Microsoft, Google, and Meta. This launch accompanies the brand’s new smartphone launches, including the Edge 60 series and the Motorola Razr 60 series.

The new Moto AI features have been developed as new experiences that tap into AI’s full potential. With “Next Move,” users can now receive tailored recommendations based on what’s on their screen. Whether it’s a recipe or travel plans, moto ai provides next step suggestions for them to explore, ideal for beginners and AI enthusiasts alike who want to learn what AI can do for them.

The next new feature is “Playlist Studio” which uses on-screen content or a prompt within the moto ai to curate a perfect playlist. And consumers can make it highly specific. For example, if someone wants to make their homemade dinner feel more special, they can say, “Pizza night Y2K jams,” and get a list of songs based on that mood or theme.

Then there’s “Image Studio” that uses generative AI creation and editing capabilities to turn ideas into images, avatars, stickers, and wallpapers. Plus, for the first time on a smartphone, Perplexity’s AI-enhanced search is integrated directly within moto ai.

Whether users are viewing upcoming concert dates or researching their next vacation destination, moto ai offers them the choice to “Explore with Perplexity.” When doing so, they can explore a topic in an in-depth manner, using Perplexity’s search functionalities to connect the dots. And for additional discovery and advanced features, Motorola smartphone users will receive three free months of Perplexity Pro. This offer will be available for all Motorola devices launched globally after March 3, 2025.

For razr 60 ultra/razr ultra users, they can unlock moto ai’s Look and Talk with a simple glance. Thanks to the advanced camera sensor and the devices’ unique form factor, users can place razr in stand or tent mode, look at the screen, and get immediate assistance—no commands or taps required. They can even use their voice for quick questions and receive audible responses, choose to catch up on missed notifications, or ask moto ai to transcribe and summarize conversations.

In partnership with Google, Motorola also announced that eligible purchasers of a new Motorola device will get three months of Google One AI Premium. The brand also highlighted the integration of Gemini and uses of Gemini Live for the latest Motorola phones.

Aside from the new Moto AI features, on the razr 60 ultra/razr ultra and the edge 60 pro, users can take advantage of the new AI key to launch moto ai from any screen. They can also tap the floating icon or use smart search in the app tray. 

Plus, new to these devices, users will also be able to access Microsoft Copilot directly via Moto ai  – bringing Copilot experiences to Motorola phones. Motorola is offering additional moto ai enhancements specifically geared toward photography lovers as well. Users of the new razr and edge devices will be able to use:

  • Group Shot which uses AI to blend multiple shots and create an image where everyone’s eyes are open.  
  • Signature Style, which uses AI to automatically tune images, adjusting color, lighting, and tone based on the scene, so users don’t need to manually edit. For those who want more editing control, they can personalize the style for food, portraits, or landscapes. For everything else, smart adjustments happen behind the scenes.

Finally, moto AI’s previous feature “Catch me up” is now powered by Meta’s industry-leading open-source model, Llama, the first time it’s ever been integrated on a smartphone, allowing users to get notification summaries even while offline. Catch me up also now includes additional third party support and quick actions, which allows users to respond directly to missed calls and messages. The “Pay attention” feature enhances transcription with speaker labels, transcription, and UX improvements.
