Sfara is one of several key players selected and funded by the German state of Hesse to explore developing a smartphone-based, multimodal traffic warning system for real-time accident avoidance.

CCC and Sfara announce today that the companies will work together to accelerate claims management. Insurance customers of the two companies will be able to seamlessly connect Safra’s mobile crash detection data with CCC’s claims management solutions, improving and speeding claims outcomes.

We’ve seen a lot of negative postings about the newly released Apple crash-detection service. We think that negativity is overwrought and misplaced.

If your organization participates, or wants to participate, in post-collision economics, the lower speed bands are in essence a new market for you, especially when combined with a mobile-based detection technology that offers First Notice of Loss (FNOL) that is automatic and on-scene.

False positives can greatly diminish the viability and profitability of business models based around crash detection programs, such as when the crash detection provides FNOL services to claims automation initiatives.

Imagine the endless configurations of mobile phones, operating systems, and placements on a person and within a vehicle that can occur during a crash. Which also often causes those phones to go flying, in no predictable patterns.

This week is another Crash Week for Sfara. The algorithm team arrived today at an undisclosed crash-test facility to conduct crashes and collect additional labeled data to train its machine learning (ML).
