AI Startup InsureVision Secures $2.7M To Predict Car Crashes Before They Happen

Imagine a world where your car doesn’t just react to accidents—it predicts them before they unfold. That’s the bold vision behind InsureVision, a London-based AI startup that just closed a $2.7 million seed round to turn predictive crash prevention into reality.

Why This Matters

Backing from State Farm Ventures, Rethink Ventures, and Twin Path Ventures signals serious industry confidence. State Farm, one of the world’s largest insurers, rarely bets on early-stage startups, making its participation a major endorsement of InsureVision’s tech.

The Tech: AI That “Sees” Like A Human

Founded in 2023, InsureVision has built an AI system designed to process real-time video from standard car cameras—an approach they call “enviromatics.” Unlike conventional GPS-based trackers that assess risk through raw data points like speed and braking, InsureVision’s AI interprets the full driving environment.

Here’s the difference:

  • Traditional systems might flag sudden braking as reckless.
  • InsureVision’s AI understands that a pile-up ahead is the real risk and recognises defensive driving rather than penalising it.

Who’s Buying In?

The advanced car safety tech market is projected to grow from $21 billion today to $40 billion by 2030, and InsureVision wants a sizable cut. Its AI could reshape risk assessment for:

  • Insurance companies offering personalised pricing based on actual driving behaviour.
  • Fleet operators (think Uber, logistics firms) seeking real-time risk monitoring.
  • Automakers integrating AI-driven safety features to comply with evolving regulations.

Next Steps

Trials with major U.S. insurers are underway, with Japan next in line for expansion. Results from these pilots are expected by mid-2025.

“We’ve built a vision transformer—an AI that learns from what it sees, not just mechanical data like speed or acceleration,” says CEO Mark Miller. “This brings real-world context into risk assessment, making it a fundamentally more human approach.”

For investors and industry insiders, the bet is clear: If InsureVision delivers, it won’t just improve road safety—it could redefine the economics of auto insurance.

Central Bank Of Cyprus Balance Sheet Reflects Strong Eurosystem Position

Overview Of Financial Stability

The Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) has released its latest balance sheet, reaffirming its steadfast role within the Eurosystem. The balance sheet, featuring total assets and liabilities of €29.545 billion, underscores the institution’s stable financial posture at the close of January 2026.

Asset Allocation And Strategic Holdings

Governor Christodoulos Patsalides issued the balance sheet, which details the CBC’s asset composition under the Eurosystem framework. Notably, the bank’s gold and gold receivables amounted to €1.635 billion, providing a significant hedge and stability to its balance sheet. Additional asset categories include claims on non-euro area residents denominated in foreign currency at €1.099 billion, while claims on euro area residents in both foreign and domestic currency add further depth to its portfolio.

The most substantial asset category, intra-Eurosystem claims, reached €19.438 billion, an indication of the CBC’s deep integration with its European counterparts. Furthermore, euro-denominated securities held by euro area residents contributed €6.587 billion. Despite a marked emphasis on these areas, lending to euro area credit institutions in monetary policy operations recorded no activity during the period.

Liability Structure And Monetary Policy Implications

On the liabilities side, banknotes in circulation contributed €3.218 billion. Liabilities to euro area credit institutions associated with monetary policy operations were notably the largest single category, totaling €17.636 billion. Supplementary liabilities included those to other euro area residents, which aggregated to €4.989 billion, with government liabilities playing a predominant role at €4.754 billion.

Other liability items, such as claims related to special drawing rights allocated by the International Monetary Fund at €494.193 million, and provisions of €596.571 million, further articulate the CBC’s exposure. Revaluation accounts stood at €1.643 billion, and overall capital and reserves were confirmed at €333.822 million, completing the picture of a well-capitalized institution.

Conclusive Insights And Strategic Alignment

The detailed breakdown illustrates the CBC’s sizeable intra-Eurosystem exposures, reinforcing its central role within Europe’s monetary landscape. With an asset-liability balance maintained at €29.545 billion, the CBC’s financial position remains robust, indicating a commitment to structural stability and strategic risk management.

This fiscal disclosure not only provides transparency into the CBC’s operations but also serves as a benchmark for comparative analysis among other central banks within the Eurosystem, highlighting the intricate balance between asset liquidity, regulatory oversight, and monetary policy imperatives.
