Waylens claims it has become the first AI-powered telematics provider to license InsureVision’s VisionScore technology, bringing AI-powered crash confirmation, severity analysis and driver risk scoring to its North American fleet customers.

The cloud-based integration will be available across Waylens’ installed base of 150,000 fleet cameras without requiring additional hardware or installation, with every customer receiving access to VisionScore.

The technology analyzes dashcam footage directly using AI rather than relying on traditional crash-detection methods such as G-force readings, sudden braking or sudden vehicle stoppage. Instead, according to the news release, the technology can confirm crashes and generate first notice of loss (FNOL) notifications within seven minutes of an incident, estimate crash severity and identify high-risk drivers before a claim occurs.

InsureVision added that its AI-based risk assessment technology has been independently reviewed by researchers from Aon and Johns Hopkins University and demonstrated improved predictive accuracy compared to traditional claims-risk detection methods.

“The accelerometer threshold is the crux of the problem. Set sensitivity high and you generate thousands of clips that tell you nothing. Set it low and you go blind to low-speed, high-consequence incidents. It looks like a process problem but it’s just the wrong technology. The dashcam providers that bring genuine risk intelligence to their platforms will own the next generation of this market. Waylens Inc. understood that, which is why they moved first,” said Mark Miller, CEO of InsureVision, in the release.

Waylens said the addition helps convert video footage into actionable safety and insurance data.

“For the first time, we can tell an insurer there was a crash, here is the severity, here is the footage, all within five minutes of impact. That’s a fundamentally different product than anything running on a dashcam platform today,” said Jon Verhaeghe, president of Waylens.
