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,” read this morning’s news release, “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.
RDZN shares eased back four cents, or 3.7%, to $1.04.
