Our take

Traffic law enforcement has been pretty slow to adopt innovative technology, with static cameras on certain streets and in police cars still the norm, but the effectiveness of these is severely limited.

Hayden AI is set on evolving traffic enforcement with a range of AI-driven solutions, from mounted cameras on municipal vehicles to automated citation, 3D city mapping, and traffic hazard alerts.

That the company completed three sizable fundraises in its very first year spotlights the excitement it’s generating – particularly amongst government bodies. Apart from day-to-day traffic enforcement, Hayden AI also enables these clients to leverage data gathered to influence policy making.

Hayden AI has some grand plans for the self-driving vehicle and mapping sectors too, as companies in the niche could use up to date data and mapping information as they drive. Throughout 2022 and early 2023, it found multiple successes such as making a number of promising partnerships, joining the NVIDIA Metropolis Platform, securing a patent for its Safe Sense traffic violation reporting app, and launching a new tool to calculate emissions savings from automated bus lane enforcement.
