About Obvio AI
Every year, over 7,500 pedestrians lose their lives due to vehicular accidents in the U. S., a staggering increase of 70% over the last decade. Despite heightened awareness, numerous cities find it challenging to combat dangerous driving, resulting in inadequate 'Vision Zero' initiatives nationwide.
At Obvio AI, we aim to revolutionize this landscape.
We utilize solar-powered, AI-enhanced cameras to enforce traffic regulations in areas where pedestrians are most at risk—automating enforcement in ways that traditional systems and police departments cannot. Our innovative approach has already led to significant reductions in reckless driving and enhanced safety for pedestrians, drivers, and law enforcement.
Founded by the creators of Motive’s AI dashcam, Obvio is supported by Bain Capital Ventures and Khosla Ventures. With a recent $22M Series A funding round, we are collaborating with some of the most progressive cities across the nation. Backed by meaningful revenue, a vast market, and strong policy support, we are building the intelligence layer for safer streets on a global scale.
