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

March 12, 2025

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.

Strained Household Finances: Eurostat Data Reveals Persistent Payment Delays Across Europe and in Cyprus

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

November 22, 2025

Improved Financial Resilience Amid Ongoing Strains

Over the past decade, Cypriot households have significantly increased their ability to manage debts—not only bank loans but also rent and utility bills. However, recent Eurostat data indicates that Cyprus continues to lag behind the European average when it comes to covering financial obligations on time.

Household Coping Strategies and the Limits of Payment Flexibility

While many families are managing their fixed expenses with relative ease, one in three Cypriots struggles to cover unexpected costs. This delicate balancing act highlights how routine payments such as mortgage installments, rent, and utility bills are met, but precariously so, with little room for unplanned financial shocks.

Breaking Down Payment Delays Across the European Union

Eurostat reports that nearly 9.2% of the EU population experienced delays with their housing loans, rent, utility bills, or installment payments in 2024. The situation is more acute among vulnerable groups: 17.2% of individuals in single-parent households with dependent children and 16.6% in households with two adults managing three or more dependents faced payment delays. In every EU nation, single-parent households exhibited higher delay rates compared to the overall population.

Cyprus in the Crosshairs: High Rates of Financial Delays

Although Cyprus recorded a notable 19.1 percentage point improvement from 2015 to 2024 in delays related to mortgages, rent, and utility bills, the island nation still ranks among the top five countries with the highest delay rates. As of 2024, 12.5% of the Cypriot population had outstanding housing loans or rent and overdue utility bills. In contrast, Greece tops the list with 42.8%, followed by Bulgaria (18.7%), Romania (15.3%), Spain (14.2%), and other EU members. Notably, 19 out of 27 EU countries reported delay rates below 10%, with Czech Republic (3.4%) and Netherlands (3.9%) leading the pack.

Selective Improvements and Emerging Concerns

Between 2015 and 2024, the overall EU population saw a 2.6 percentage point decline in payment delays. Despite this, certain countries experienced increases: Luxembourg (+3.3 percentage points), Spain (+2.5 percentage points), and Germany (+2.0 percentage points) saw a rise in payment delays, reflecting underlying economic pressures that continue to challenge financial stability.

Economic Insecurity and the Unprepared for Emergencies

Another critical indicator explored by Eurostat is the prevalence of economic insecurity—the proportion of the population unable to handle unexpected financial expenses. In 2024, 30% of the EU population reported being unable to cover unforeseen costs, a modest improvement of 1.2 percentage points from 2023 and a significant 7.4 percentage point drop compared to a decade ago. In Cyprus, while 34.8% still report difficulty handling emergencies, this marks a drastic improvement from 2015, when the figure stood at 60.5%.

A Broader EU Perspective

Importantly, no EU country in 2024 had more than half of its population facing economic insecurity—a notable improvement from 2015, when over 50% of the population in nine countries reported such challenges. These figures underscore both progress and persistent vulnerabilities within European households, urging policymakers to consider targeted measures for enhancing financial resilience.
