Georges Aoude, cofounder and CEO of Derq, discussed road safety technology at the CoMotion LA conference in November 2021. He described Derq's approach of using existing cameras and sensors at intersections to generate safety and traffic insights, including identifying near misses and illegal behaviors. He also argued that current traffic management systems focus primarily on optimizing vehicle flow, which he suggested may not adequately address safety concerns. In an earlier appearance at Techstars Mobility Demo Day in October 2017, Aoude presented Derq's connected vehicle software platform, which uses AI and V2X technologies to predict dangerous behaviors and send real-time alerts to road users. He cited the company's ability to predict nine out of ten violations and potential accidents, and announced the opening of Derq's first U.S. office in Detroit. He also noted that Derq had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dubai government and was live in Dubai Silicon Oasis.
