Cambridge Mobile Telematics

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week at The Visionaries of Mobility Summit to share our vision of the future of mobility. Your presence and energy made the night truly special. Our co-founder and CTO, Hari Balakrishnan, presented on mobility advancements and highlighted the paradox of vehicle safety — despite all the breakthroughs in technology, crashes are still rising. Hari showed how CMT has made roads safer for over 40 million drivers. The evening closed with a fireside chat between our co-founder and CEO, William V. Powers, and the GOAT, Tom Brady, who shared a powerful message on leadership and accountability: "Every time you show up, you get to prove them wrong or prove them right. And if they say you can't do something... well, what are you going to do about it? You're going to prove them right? So the idea was, how can I always go out there and prove to myself that I was capable... Because that person you can't fool." The last 15 years for CMT were just the beginning. Now, we’re preparing for the next 15 — together with the entire mobility community, working to make the world’s roads and drivers safer. As Tom would say, let’s go! ??????

Distracted driving caused over 11,000 crashes in Pennsylvania last year. In response, the state passed its hands-free law, with warnings going into effect June 2025. CMT’s Ryan McMahon weighs in on the challenge of changing risky behaviors and the life-saving impact the “Paul Miller’s Law” can have on the roads. "It's one of these actions that people can do and not have anything bad happen to them for a long period of time," McMahon said. "The passing of the law is a signal to a portion of the population that says, 'This is dangerous,' and those people will take action."

Startups thrive on resilience. Building a startup can be a daunting journey, especially when navigating the early stages without significant funding. Hari Balakrishnan, Founder and CTO of Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT), knows this firsthand. With a vision to enhance road safety through innovative telematics, CMT launched in 2012 with limited resources. Instead of relying on venture capital initially, they focused on pilot programs with customers, allowing them to grow organically. Balakrishnan emphasizes the importance of having a supportive team when facing challenges. CMT's journey is a testament to resilience and collaboration, showing that shared experiences can make the entrepreneurial path more manageable. Today, backed by the SoftBank Vision Fund and having developed solutions for the insurance industry, CMT is leading the way in using technology to improve driving behavior and safety. As entrepreneurs, the lessons learned from Balakrishnan’s experience remind us of the power of perseverance and teamwork in overcoming obstacles on the road to success.
