Kruzr is a mobile app which turns the driver’s smartphone into a driving assistant to help him mitigate the risks he faces while driving. Kruzr understands the context of driving in real-time and through its voice interface designed for driving, guides drivers to mitigate the risks of road accidents due to mobile distractions, drowsy driving, speeding, and external risks like weather or accident-prone roads.

Being a mobile tech solution, Kruzr has the potential to scale quickly and reach every driver in the world.

Kruzr cuts down distracted driving by 80% and is estimated to increase profits for insurers by ~15%. Other modules on drowsy driving, speeding, and external risk factors are based on machine learning, and their effectiveness will increase steadily as the numbers of users and km driven increases. These modules are currently in early stages of customer testing.

Close to 75% of accidents happen due to preventable factors mentioned above. These preventable accidents alone result in losses of close to 200 Billion USD annually for motor insurance companies. Due to these factors, most motor insurance companies operate at a claims settlement to underwriting ratio of more than 80%. By integrating Kruzr in the existing mobile apps of insurers they help keep their customers safe and reduce accidents and thereby claims.

Currently, Kruzr has initiated trials with four major insurance companies in Europe and three in India. Kruzr not only helps reduce claims, but the contextual data captured helps underwriting teams develop a deep understanding of their customers. And the driving assistant engages with customers every time they drive, introducing a new paradigm of customer engagement in the insurance industry.

How it works

Kruzr helps the driver in mitigating the risks from Distracted Driving, Over-speeding, Drowsy Driving, and External risk factors like accident-prone zones or bad weather. The startup will continue adding skills to the assistant to help the driver solve other risk-factors as well.

To maximize his/her safety on roads, the driver just needs to download Kruzr and sign-in using his mobile no. And then Kruzr does the rest…

• Every time the driver starts driving, Kruzr will detect that and turn on automatically to become his virtual driving assistant. It solves speeding: which causes more than 30% accidents
• It will handle all communications for him, allowing only the important ones to ring, reducing distractions by more than 95%.
• It will guide the driver in case he is getting sleepy or is over-speeding and direct him to the right behavior: which causes more than 8% accidents
• It will warn him of risks due to external factors like weather or accident-prone zones: which causes more than 15% of all accidents
• And when the trip is over, it gives the driver feedback on the risks he faced and his driving habits.

Kruzr is first of its kind preventive driving safety assistant which leverages AI, ML, and Voice Computing to predict and prevent accidents. Kruzr’s voice assistant helps drivers mitigate risks faced while driving in the real-time. Their solution for distracted driving is more sophisticated compared to others, and they go beyond and solve drowsiness, speeding, and other external factors. The quality of data they provide for policy personalization is at par with mobile telematics solutions. 

This makes Kruzr a comprehensive driving safety and preventive insurance solution.
