?? From Breakthroughs to Scale - Expanding AI-Powered Perception in 2025

Dear Visionary Minds and Peregrine.ai friends,

After an intense start to the year—CES, back-to-back meetings across the US, and deep discussions at ETH Zürich—we’re seeing AI-powered perception move from an emerging technology to an industry necessity.

The shift is clear. Fleets, telematics providers, and insurers aren’t just exploring AI anymore—they’re actively looking to deploy it at scale. Risk models based on reactive data are quickly becoming outdated. The next generation of mobility intelligence requires real-time perception, context-aware AI, and edge processing that works without cloud reliance.

With that, here’s a look at where we are today and what’s ahead.

2024: Getting out of the Tech Garage & on the Road with Peregrine.ai

Last year was when we took our technology from pilots and MVPs into enterprise integration - passing industry grade. In 2024, we:

? Launched our AI-powered video telematics software on dashcams with partners

? Expanded our footprint on the European road network with millions of kilometers driven

? Teamed up with leaders like Bosch L.OS, reinforcing our position in the logistics ecosystem

? Pushed vision-based edge AI into real-world mobility operations

Now, in 2025, we’re on track to scale further - expanding coverage, growing our partnerships, and bringing our technology to even more fleets and mobility providers worldwide.

With that, we’re opening up new pilot projects and partnerships for fleets, telematics providers, and mobility innovators who want to elevate their solutions with AI. If that’s you—we're happy to chat.

CES 2025: AI at the Edge Is No Longer Optional

CES is where industry shifts become impossible to ignore. This year, one thing was clear: AI-powered perception is no longer optional for fleets—it’s becoming a necessity.

At the Berlin-Brandenburg Pavilion, we demonstrated how Peregrine Vision is transforming vehicle cameras into real-time perception systems—detecting road conditions, classifying objects, and predicting risks directly at the edge.

One of the most exciting moments was our GenAI demo for contextual awareness. We showcased how our data engine can query knowledge from millions of kilometers driven, allowing AI to interact with fleet data in entirely new ways. Instead of just detecting elements, our system can now interpret, learn, and display scenes dynamically—making AI-driven mobility smarter than ever.

The industry is moving, and the fleets that act now will define the next decade of AI-powered risk management.

Pitching in Silicon Valley: Peregrine.ai Named Top 30 AI Startup

Beyond CES, I spent January meeting with some of the most forward-thinking fleets, telematics providers, and investors across the US. The industry is at a turning point—regulatory pressure, rising insurance costs, and evolving driver safety expectations are all accelerating the need for smarter, more context-aware AI solutions.

From Las Vegas, we headed straight to Silicon Valley, where Peregrine.ai was selected as a Top 30 AI Startup by the Bay Area Founders Club . At the Global AI Pitch Summit 2025, I had the chance to present our vision:

?? How Edge AI is making cars smarter and roads safer

?? Turning raw video into actionable road intelligence from a network of vehicles

Standing alongside some of the brightest minds in AI, the message was clear—AI-powered perception is no longer an experimental add-on; it’s becoming the backbone of modern fleet intelligence.

We will be back soon in the Bay Area to continue conversations with fleet operators, telematics providers, and investors who are driving the next phase of AI-powered mobility.

Check out our new Product Page: AI for Video Telematics

Our Video Telematics page just got an upgrade, and it reflects something bigger—how fleets and telematics providers are moving beyond just recording events to unlocking real value from AI-powered video intelligence.

We’ve built Peregrine Vision to do more than just detect incidents—it transforms raw video into structured, monetizable data that enhances risk models, powers smarter decision-making, and even creates new revenue streams from road intelligence.

This update makes it clear:

• AI-driven insights, not just video—moving beyond footage to deliver real-time, context-aware detection of risks, road conditions, and driving behavior.
• Seamless telematics integration—designed to enhance, not replace, existing platforms.
• Smarter data, new revenue opportunities—insights that fleets, insurers, and mapping providers can leverage for more than just safety.

AI in the Alps: ETH Zürich & The DeepTech Investor Summit

At ETH Zürich for the DeepTech Investor Summit, Jorit and I joined a global lineup of AI leaders, investors, and deep tech pioneers. The conversation wasn’t just about AI—it was about how to scale AI from prototype to critical infrastructure.

One of the most thought-provoking takeaways came from a discussion on Europe’s deep tech ecosystem—how, despite world-class innovation, scaling AI solutions still faces major roadblocks. This is exactly why we’re focused on moving beyond proof-of-concept AI and delivering scalable, embedded intelligence that fleets can deploy today.

During the event, we also showcased our GenAI-powered contextual awareness demo, which sparked great discussions about the role of real-time AI in mobility risk assessment. It’s clear that AI isn’t just enabling mobility—it’s fundamentally reshaping it.

Scaling AI-Powered Perception: Where We’re Headed Next

With the industry at an inflection point, we’re making strategic moves to expand AI-powered perception across more fleets and telematics platforms.

? New Feature Expansions – We’re rolling out inward-camera support, on-demand live streaming, and more advanced risk detection, including tailgating, red lights, and enhanced weather-based visibility analysis.

? More Pilots, More Partners – We’re actively deploying AI-powered perception across new fleet operations and telematics platforms.

? Unlocking New Revenue Streams – Beyond safety, visual intelligence is a data asset for compliance, mapping, and insurance applications.

If you’re looking to integrate real-time AI perception into fleet operations, now is the time to connect. We’re scaling fast, and the next wave of partnerships will define how AI reshapes fleet operations. If you want to get your first demo, let's talk pilots!

Looking Ahead

2025 is shaping up to be a big year—not just for Peregrine.ai, but for the entire mobility ecosystem. The shift toward AI-powered perception is accelerating, and the companies that move early will have a clear competitive edge.

We’re here to build, to challenge assumptions, and to push the boundaries of what’s possible with vision-based AI at the edge. Let’s make 2025 the year we reshape mobility together.

Until next time, keep questioning, keep building, and keep moving forward.
