New York AI-powered mobility company Nexar is helping Japan Post offer postal and logistics services in Japan.

This initiative aims to improve road conditions using dashcams and support the promotion of autonomous vehicles.

Using images and location data from Nexar’s dashcams in Japan Post’s vehicles, it will monitor highway road construction and damage, helping develop a system that improves and maintains roads across the country. These insights will also be used for mapping necessary to accelerate deployments of autonomous vehicles across the country.

Nexar has been operating in Japan for over four years, and says it is the current leader in mobility data use in the country. This partnership will accelerate and expand efforts to reach a better mobility service in Japan.

“We’re honoured to collaborate with Japan Post on this important initiative to enhance road infrastructure across Japan,” said Zach Greenberger, CEO of Nexar. “By leveraging Nexar’s advanced AI-driven insights, we can help provide actionable data that supports safer, more efficient transportation networks. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to using cutting-edge technology to create meaningful impact on a global scale.”

In recent months, Nexar has expanded its efforts to partner with governmental organisations, brands and industry to leverage the company’s data and insights to understand safety risks, inform autonomous vehicle systems and accelerate AV technologies, and improve road infrastructure.

Japan Post (www.post.japanpost.jp) is a private company under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs & Communications.
