EyeSight raises $15 million for AI-powered in-car monitoring

In 2013 alone, it tragically claimed the lives of more than 3,154 and injured 424,000. Now, each day in the United States about nine people are killed by an inattentive person behind the wheel. EyeSight, a Tel Aviv, Israel-based artificial intelligence (AI) and hardware startup, promises to eradicate the distracted driving problem once and for all -- at least in cars equipped with its hardware. To further that mission, it today announced a $15 million funding round led by Jebsen Capital, with participation from Arie Capital and Mizrahi Tefahot. EyeSight's tech leans on a combination of cameras and artificial intelligence to monitor driver activity.
