CEO and Co-Founder
Rashid Galadanci is CEO of Driver Technologies, an AI-based mobility tech company that delivers a safer driving experience, which he co-founded in 2018. Rashid was inspired to start Driver Technologies to share the benefits of advanced vehicle technologies without barriers to access and improve safety for everyone. He tells Qorus’ Boris Plantier more about it.
What led to the creation of Driver Technologies?
When I was younger, my dad was a passenger in a severe car accident in Nigeria. He and the driver survived, thankfully, because his friend was affluent and safety-focused enough to import a Volvo, which was incredibly rare in the region.
Following the accident, I gained an appreciation for the benefits of advancing vehicle safety and technology while addressing the inequality in access to new vehicles equipped with safety technology, as the average age of a car on the road in the US is over 12.6 years old.
Through connecting with my co-founders, we founded Driver Technologies to make roads safe and accessible for everyone through the technology available in our pockets via a smartphone.
