The team

I led a team spanning Imperial, IIT Madras, Standard Chartered and ONGC through the Global Challenge Lab Smart Cities track. The programme was completed and certificates issued.

The product

An AI-powered mobility intelligence platform: road hazard detection from camera and phone-based inference, with the resulting footage and telemetry usable as insurance evidence.

The insurance angle is what makes it commercial rather than civic. Hazard data has no obvious buyer; a verifiable account of what happened in a collision does.

The open question

Who owns the data from a commute is not settled in either market, and the answer determines whether the evidence product is viable at all. I wrote about that separately.
