About the SaverOne system
SaverOne’s system is installed in vehicles to provide a solution to the problem of driver distraction resulting from drivers using distracting applications on the mobile phone while driving in a manner that endangers their safety and that of their passengers. This phenomenon is considered one of the main causes of road accidents in the world. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the annual cost of traffic accidents just in United Statesis located approximately $870 billion each year, excluding the costs of serious injury or death, with a quarter of these accidents estimated to be related to mobile phone use while driving. SaverOne’s technology specifically recognizes the driver’s area in the vehicle and prevents the driver from accessing distracting applications such as messaging, while allowing others (eg navigation), without user intervention or consent , creating a safer driving environment.
SaverOne’s primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets that want to reduce potential damage and significant costs, automakers that want to integrate safety solutions into their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially targets automotive fleets with a focus on the Israeli, European and US markets, as well as other markets around the world. SaverOne believes that ultimately the increased focus on monitoring and preventing cellular distraction systems in vehicles, particularly due to expected upcoming European regulations, is likely to have a significant positive impact on demand for its systems in the future.
