NeverDrivers

NeverDrivers is a technology company that develops software and hardware solutions to improve road safety. The company was founded in 2015 by a team of engineers from Stanford University and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. Its headquarters also hosts a research laboratory focused on computer vision, machine learning, and driver behavior modeling.

The company’s flagship product is a driver assistance system called Sentinel, which uses a camera and sensor array to detect hazards and provide real‑time alerts to vehicle occupants. Sentinel can be installed in a range of vehicles from passenger cars to commercial trucks. In addition, NeverDrivers offers a cloud analytics platform that aggregates data from connected vehicles to study traffic patterns and support autonomous vehicle testing.

NeverDrivers has partnered with several automotive OEMs and mobility service providers, including Tesla, Volvo, and Lyft. The company also collaborates with academic institutions to publish research on human‑machine interaction and to develop best practices for shared autonomous mobility. In 2020, NeverDrivers received a grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for research into mixed‑traffic environments.

The company’s mission is to reduce traffic fatalities by enabling safer driving through advanced technology. It emphasizes privacy by anonymizing vehicle data before analysis. NeverDrivers continues to explore applications of its technology in areas such as predictive maintenance, fleet management, and urban planning.
