Twice a year Mobility Xlab founded by CEVT, Ericsson, Veoneer, Volvo Cars, Volvo Group, and Zenseact, takes in new startups to create innovative and sustainable mobility solutions together with the founding partners. In this year’s first batch of startups you find Eyescanner (Sweden), 12iD (Sweden), Aiden (USA), and Detectivio (Sweden).
The partners of MobilityXlab share a common goal to speed up innovation to create cleaner, safer, and more efficient mobility solutions. One example of how innovative solutions can support the common goal is the startup Eyescanner, founded by two Swedish entrepreneurs. They are focusing on AI in software for drug detection. Their innovation solves the lack of vehicle technology for detecting drug-affected drivers.
“Drugs affect the central nervous system, which is reflected in the reactions and movement patterns of the eye. We have developed a solution using machine learning to detect the usage of drugs by filming a sequence of the driver’s eyes, says Jenny Johansson, co-founder at Eyescanner. It is not intrusive for the individual; it also protects the integrity of its users. We are looking forward to collaborating with some of the largest players in the automotive industry. MobilityXlab gives access from Day One to the right specialists to talk to, which is difficult to find from just looking at a LinkedIn page or through a call to the company’s office.”
