Netherlands-based Mobileye, which specializes in advanced image sensing and processing technology for automotive applications, has formed a distribution partnership with Phoenix-based AssureNet, which provides safety and risk-management services to the insurance and transportation industries in the U.S.


Under the new agreement, AssureNet's fleet customer and network of insurance companies will have access to Mobileye's line of advanced warning aftermarket safety technologies.

"The combination of Mobileye's technology and our services will reduce accidents and enable fleet and risk managers and insurance companies to manage risk more effectively," said Chris Chappell, AssureNet CEO.

"Given the ability of Mobileye technologies to minimize risk and drastically reduce the rate of accidents and on-road fatalities, it is imperative the insurance industry has even greater access to our family of products," said Skip Kinford, CEO of Mobileye. "We effectively accomplish this by aligning ourselves with companies like AssureNet."

Mobileye's line of Advance Warning System aftermarket driver assistance products include forward collision warning, headway monitoring and lane departure warning systems, which help alert drivers to potentially life-threatening situations.

Mobileye AWS includes a camera located on the front windshield inside the vehicle and utilizes Mobileye's advanced vision technologies to detect and measure the distance to vehicles and lane markings, providing the driver with timely alerts.
