Archaic and Aioi Nissay Dowa’s Cutting-Edge Driving Advice Platform
In a significant advancement in road safety technology, Archaic, a forward-thinking company specializing in AI, has entered into a collaboration with Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Company, a part of the MS&AD Insurance Group, alongside its R&D partner, Aioi R&D Lab – Oxford. Together, they will develop a groundbreaking Driving Advice Platform, harnessing the power of generative AI, set to launch in November 2025.
1. Background
While traffic accidents have been decreasing overall in recent years, reports suggest that the numbers have plateaued, underscoring a pressing need to further promote safe driving practices. Archaic, in conjunction with Aioi Nissay Dowa and the R&D Lab, is addressing this challenge by leveraging state-of-the-art large language model (LLM) technology. Their strategy is to thoroughly analyze driver behavior and driving data to identify optimal improvement areas, thus fostering safer driving habits.
The platform aims to utilize driving data accumulated through Aioi Nissay Dowa’s telematics auto insurance, encouraging drivers to remain vigilant about safe driving. Furthermore, the partnership includes collaboration with Tokai Tokyo Securities, which has taken proactive steps in employee safety education. Together, they plan to initiate a proof-of-concept to evaluate the effectiveness of this innovative advice mechanism.
2. Overview of the Driving Advice Platform
The Driving Advice Platform will derive insights from vehicle driving data to generate tailored driving suggestions for drivers using generative AI technology. Here’s a breakdown of the platform’s features:
| Feature | Description |
|---|
| --- | --- |
| Data Utilization | The platform will utilize driving behavior data collected via Aioi Nissay Dowa’s telematics auto insurance and an extensive database of over 2,000 driving advice entries. |
| Advice Generation | It will create detailed recommendations based on driving behavior, time of day, road type, distance traveled, and whether it's a weekday or weekend. |
| Flexible Expression | Employing the adaptable text generation capabilities of generative AI allows for producing a variety of advice styles, adjusting to the driver’s preferences for encouraging or stern feedback. |
| Safety Focus | Particularly risky driving behaviors will trigger alerts, accompanied by suggestions on how to improve driving habits in those situations. |
3. Execution of the Proof-of-Concept
The proof-of-concept phase is scheduled to run from November 2025 to March 2026. It will include data collected from the dash cameras installed in company vehicles at Tokai Tokyo Securities. Monthly driving advice will be generated for each driver and shared with the company. Both drivers and fleet managers will evaluate this feedback, assessing its impact on actual driving behaviors and overall safety. Based on these evaluations, adjustments will be made to the AI algorithms overseen by Archaic, the R&D Lab, and Aioi Nissay Dowa, aiming to refine the advice and increase its effectiveness.
4. Future Developments
Archaic, alongside Aioi Nissay Dowa and the R&D Lab, is targeting to roll out the Driving Advice Platform to various enterprises by December 2026. They will continue to conduct multiple proof-of-concept trials, focusing on improvements within the system. In parallel, efforts will be made to enhance the clarity and accessibility of the driving advice, incorporating not just text but visual aids, thus elevating the user experience and driving safety awareness.
