CURRANT.AI
Driving a safer and smarter future
CURRANT.AI believes that better street level data will drive our society to a safer and smarter future. We aggregate street level information and apply urban analytics to provide:
(1) safer driving to individual drivers;
(2) smarter mobility to cities; and
(3) spatial intelligence to business organizations.

To Individual Drivers (2C)
The App will provide smarter and safer driving assistantships (such as hazard alerts, distance alerts, real-time parking assistant ) during driving and generate liability claim reports for drivers in case of accidents.
We provide services for safer driving, better business, and smarter cities.
Safer driving assistants for individual drivers
Collect real time urban informations such as available parking lots
We provide services for safer driving, better business, and smarter cities.
To Business & Cities (2B)
The smart urban analytics platform will generate street-level urban information, such as pedestrian volumes, usage of parking lot. All such information would provide new insight for commercial companies and government agencies.
ABOUT
Currant.AI is founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2017 by a group of graduates from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). While the co-founders have very various training and backgrounds ranging from computer science, urban planning, transportation, and geography, they share the same vision that better street-level data will lead to a better city.
