Product

MileSense is a better way to collect driving behavior data that can drastically improve pricing in the $200 billion auto insurance market. We use software on smartphones to replace proprietary hardware devices the industry has been trying to use for many years. We have the most cost effective and scalable way of collecting driving behavior data which will finally enable the industry to create a risk score (like a credit score) for a large number of drivers.
