Roadzen Inc. (Nasdaq: RDZN), a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, today announced that drivebuddyAI, its driver safety and in-cabin intelligence platform, has been granted a patent in India for an AI-powered in-vehicle Integrated Dynamic Road Quality Assessment System and Method. The technology detects and geo-maps potholes, rough patches and hazardous road conditions in real-time, advancing the frontier of predictive road safety intelligence.
The patented system fuses two data streams: GNSS for precise speed and location, and an IMU accelerometer to detect motion across three axes. A spike in Z-axis acceleration instantly flags potential road anomalies, which are then verified through video processed by a fine-tuned deep learning model — delivering accurate, geo-tagged intelligence with minimal false positives.
Unlike static road surveys, drivebuddyAI continuously updates a dynamic road quality map as new data flows in, effectively transforming every equipped vehicle into a node in a real-time sensing network.
The company positions road quality as a high-impact data layer spanning driver safety, cargo protection, and fleet efficiency. Conventional navigation systems optimize for distance and traffic; drivebuddyAI adds verified road condition data — enabling smarter routing that is often safer and faster in practice.
With 15 patents, drivebuddyAI continues to extend its lead in mobility intelligence and remains uniquely certified across AIS-184, EU GSR 2144, and Euro NCAP 2026 standards.
“Road safety must be real-time and predictive. This patent reflects our commitment to building intelligence that anticipates and prevents risk before it materializes — transforming vehicle fleets into a living, breathing infrastructure monitoring system,” commented Rohan Malhotra, CEO and Founder of Roadzen Inc. “Our drivebuddyAI pipeline is robust and scaling rapidly, with engagement now spanning virtually all major fleet operators in India, while we continue to gain meaningful recognition across the EU. We are not just improving safety — we are redefining how the world understands and responds to risk on the road.”
