BYTES, an AI-powered Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) for two-wheeler mobility, has emerged from stealth mode and secured funding from Nikhil Kamath’s WTFund as part of its second cohort for 2024. This investment marks a crucial step in BYTES’ mission to enhance road safety using cutting-edge AI and computer vision technology.
The startup has developed an AI-driven safety system capable of predicting and preventing accidents before they happen. Using vision-based intelligence, BYTES’ system detects high-risk scenarios and provides real-time alerts to riders, significantly reducing the likelihood of collisions. This innovation addresses a critical gap in India’s two-wheeler safety landscape, where road accidents remain a major concern.
