Traction
Discoperi is a startup company. The company’s team was formed in May 2016 to develop, manufacture and market product line of solutions for traffic accident prevention and risky drivers’ identification.
Mission
Discoperi saves lives by identifying and taking off the road risky drivers.
Vision
We believe by deploying our system worldwide, starting from Spain and then moving to United States, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, UK, Russia, China, etc. we would build a working tool, which can save 300,000 lives annually starting from the end of 2019. Our ambition is to build a network, which will eventually make roads safer by warning drivers of other risky drivers on the road. Furthermore, we aim to connect at least 1 bl vehicles by the end of 2021. We see a future fully secured from traffic accidents, and the solution is based on technology which eliminates any potential for collision.
