by

 Zendrive, mobile driver analytics platform, and GasBuddy announced a new partnership to help millions of drivers and forge the future of mobility on the road.

The deal targets the more than 200 million drivers in the United States who visit gas stations and convenience stores. Using Zendrive’s advanced mobile technology, GasBuddy can further help millions of consumers make smarter decisions and cut costs on various necessities while on the road, based on real-world driving behaviors.

Zendrive’s AI-powered platform for safety and risk assessment, which analyzed more than 15 billion miles and millions of drivers, already understands dangerous habits such as hard braking, fast acceleration, speeding, and others. Under the terms of the partnership, the companies will develop additional strategic uses of Zendrive’s AI technology and data, for large-scale solutions that deliver new levels of safety and cost savings for the driving public.

“Understanding driving behavior and trends has a transformative effect on how people act behind the wheel,” said Jonathan Matus, CEO and co-founder, Zendrive. “We’ve seen this in fleets, which use our analysis and insights to protect drivers and lower insurance costs. For the first time ever, these advanced AI tools will power consumer savings, allowing us to provide even more benefits to GasBuddy’s highly engaged driving community.”

For Zendrive, the partnership represents the firm’s first move beyond road safety to consumer cost savings. GasBuddy joins Zendrive’s roster of premium consumer app partners, alongside Life360, a leader in driver protection and family safety, with tens of millions of registered users worldwide.

For GasBuddy, the deal not only reflects its commitment to helping millions of drivers save money, but also to exploring advanced technologies that can unlock even more powerful value for drivers.
