Introduction
AI-Powered Two-Wheeler Safety is advancing rapidly with a major investment from Nikhil Kamath’s WTFund in BYTES, a company specializing in AI-driven Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). As part of WTFund’s second cohort for 2024, this funding will accelerate BYTES’ efforts to minimize accidents and improve rider safety through cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technology.
Addressing the Growing Road Safety Concern
Each year, over 50 million road accidents occur globally, with two-wheelers involved in nearly 60% of these incidents. Human error plays a role in 90% of crashes, and the lack of adequate safety features increases the fatality risk by 40%.
BYTES aims to tackle this pressing issue through AI-driven safety solutions that predict and prevent accidents in real time. Their technology detects high-risk scenarios and provides instant assistance to riders, ensuring safety becomes an integral part of two-wheeler riding rather than an afterthought.
How BYTES’ AI-Powered Safety System Works
BYTES’ Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) is designed to improve road safety by:
- Detecting hazardous situations before they escalate into accidents.
- Providing real-time alerts and assistance to riders.
- Integrating seamlessly with two-wheeler manufacturers to enhance safety features.
This system represents a paradigm shift in two-wheeler safety, aiming to reduce collisions and fatalities through advanced AI and computer vision.
Strategic Industry Partnerships & Real-World Testing
To bring its technology to the masses, BYTES is launching pilot programs with leading two-wheeler Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). These programs will test and refine the ADAS system, ensuring seamless integration and reliability in real-world conditions. The investment from WTFund serves as a validation of BYTES’ work and a catalyst for scaling its solutions.
“The support from WTFund is a strong validation of our work and will accelerate our efforts to bring AI-powered safety to millions of riders,” shared Aayush Kumar, Co-founder & COO of BYTES.
A Vision for Safer Two-Wheeler Riding
BYTES envisions a future where preventable accidents are eliminated through AI-powered intelligence. The company is currently in the process of securing its pre-seed funding round, seeking investors who align with their mission of enhancing road safety through cutting-edge technology.
“Our mission is to create a future where no two-wheeler accident results in a preventable loss of life. AI and vision-based intelligence will ensure that safety isn’t an afterthought but an integral part of riding,” said Prakhar Agrawal, Co-founder & CEO of BYTES.
The Future of AI-Powered Two-Wheeler Safety
With the support of strategic investors and industry partnerships, BYTES is on a path to set a new standard for two-wheeler safety. The integration of its technology with OEMs represents a significant step toward making roads safer for millions of riders worldwide.
As AI continues to transform industries, BYTES is leading the way in applying AI-powered ADAS solutions to one of the most vulnerable segments of road users—two-wheeler riders. This investment marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of intelligent safety systems, bringing a tech-first approach to accident prevention and ensuring a safer riding experience for all.
