软银科技基金向驱动安全初创公司投资5亿美元

Cambridge Mobile Telematics公司周三在一份声明中表示，该公司将利用这笔资金加速其DriveWell平台的发展，该平台被保险公司和其他公司用于衡量驾驶风险

软银Group Corp .)视觉基金同意向一家美国公司投资5亿美元，该公司收集并分析人们如何驾驶的数据。

剑桥移动信息技术会用这笔钱来加速其发展吗DriveWell该公司在周三的一份声明中表示，该平台是保险公司和其他公司用来衡量驾驶风险的

愿景基金(Vision Fund)的最新投资规模接近1000亿美元，加深了亿万富翁孙正义(Masayoshi Son)对规划未来交通的初创公司的投资。这位软银创始人已经牵头投资了包括优步科技公司和中国的打车巨头迪迪Chuxing以及通用汽车Cruise和卡车应用Manbang Group的股份。

总部位于马萨诸塞州同名小镇的剑桥移动公司(Cambridge Mobile)跟踪司机的表现，包括他们刹车的力度，以及他们在开车时是否使用手机。该公司通过折扣保险等奖励来激励安全的道路行为，并表示在用户使用DriveWell平台的前30天内，危险超速和急刹车的情况减少了20%。

软银投资顾问公司(SoftBank Investment Advisers)合伙人阿克谢·纳赫塔(Akshay Naheta)在声明中说:“CMT在帮助保险公司发展洞察、更好地支持客户和推进业务方面具有独特的地位。”

CMT的保险合作伙伴包括State Farm、Liberty Mutual Holding Co.和美国国际集团(aig)。

愿景基金热衷于让其投资组合中的公司交叉销售商品和产品。愿景基金也提供了支持Auto1集团有限公司这家德国汽车经销商平台最近为汽车经销商推出了一个贷款和保险产品平台。

虽然CMT主要与车队司机和保险公司合作，但个人消费者对保险公司批准的监控会有多热情，人们仍心存疑虑。皮尤研究中心2016年的一份报告显示，45%的受访者表示，在为他们的汽车配备保险公司的设备时，他们不认为为了换取他们的数据而牺牲更低的保险费率是值得的。

对CMT的投资是软银在物联网领域的又一项投资，其核心是斥资320亿美元收购芯片设计公司ARM Holdings Plc。软银集团创始人孙正义认为，ARM将在未来的互联设备中发挥关键作用。

CMT由麻省理工学院(Massachusetts Institute of Technology)前教授于2010年创立，提供一种所谓的“标签”——一种可以贴在汽车挡风玻璃上的无线设备。该声明称，自2014年以来，该公司已售出超过600万个标签。在软银投资5亿美元之前，CMT在2014年的一轮风险投资中仅融资250万美元。

SoftBank<\/a> Group Corp.\u2019s Vision Fund<\/a> agreed to invest $500 million in a U.S. company that gathers and analyzes data on how people drive.

Cambridge Mobile Telematics<\/a> will use the money to accelerate its DriveWell<\/a> platform used by insurers and others to measure driving risk, the company said in a statement Wednesday

<\/div><\/div>The latest investment by the Vision Fund, a near $100-billion pool of money, deepens billionaire Masayoshi Son\u2019s push into startups plotting the future of transport. The SoftBank founder has already led investments in ride-hailing giants including Uber Technologies Inc. and China\u2019s Didi Chuxing<\/a> as well as a stake in GM\u2019s Cruise and truck app Manbang Group.

Cambridge Mobile, based in the namesake Massachusetts town, tracks drivers\u2019 performance on metrics like how hard they brake and whether they use their phones behind the wheel. The company provides incentives for safe road behavior with rewards like discounted insurance, and said it\u2019s seen 20 percent reductions in hazardous speeding and hard braking after users\u2019 first 30 days on the DriveWell platform.

\u201cCMT is uniquely positioned to help insurers develop the insights to better support customers and advance their operations,\u201d Akshay Naheta, a partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers, said in the statement.

CMT\u2019s insurance partners include State Farm, Liberty Mutual Holding Co. and American International Group Inc., it said.

The Vision Fund is keen to get its portfolio companies cross-selling goods and products. The Vision Fund has also backed Auto1 Group GmbH<\/a>, a German car-dealer platform that recently launched a loan and insurance product-platform for car dealerships.

<\/div><\/div>While CMT works largely with fleets of drivers and insurers, there are lingering doubts as to how warmly individual consumers will respond to insurance company-sanctioned monitoring. According to a Pew Research Center report in 2016, 45 percent of people surveyed said that when it came to outfitting their car with an insurer\u2019s device, they did not believe the trade-off of cheaper insurance rates was worth it in exchange for their data.

The investment into CMT is another bet by SoftBank in the Internet of Things, centered around the $32 billion acquisition of ARM Holdings Plc, the chip designer that SoftBank Group Corp. founder Son believes will play a key role in the future of connected devices.

Founded by former Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors in 2010, CMT offers what it calls a \u2018tag\u2019 -- a wireless device that can be attached to the car windshield. It has sold over 6 million tags since 2014, according to the statement. Prior to SoftBank\u2019s $500 million investment, CMT had raised just $2.5 million in a venture round in 2014.
