Bringing Taxis Into the Connected Vehicle Era

At Nexar, we believe the future of mobility shouldn’t just be about what’s next—it should also elevate what’s already here. That’s why I’m thrilled to share that Nexar is now collaborating with Flywheel, the nation’s leading e-hail platform for taxis, to bring our connected vehicle technology to thousands of taxis across the United States and beyond.
This collaboration is more than a tech upgrade—it’s about modernizing one of the most iconic modes of transportation and giving taxi fleets the tools they need to thrive in a fast-changing mobility landscape.
Turning Every Taxi into a Smart Vehicle
Through our alliance, Flywheel-enabled taxis will now be equipped with Nexar’s AI-powered connected dash cameras. These aren’t just cameras—they’re real-time data hubs. From automatic crash detection to driver behavior insights and proactive safety alerts, Nexar’s platform turns every vehicle into an intelligent asset.
Historically, these types of tools were only accessible to rideshare giants with massive engineering budgets. With Flywheel, we’re leveling the playing field and putting powerful safety and insurance tools into the hands of independent drivers and local fleets.
Safety, Efficiency, and a Better Rider Experience
This collaboration is a win on multiple fronts. For drivers, it means greater peace of mind—knowing there’s a dash cam watching out for them, providing objective evidence if something goes wrong and serving as a powerful deterrent against bad actors. For fleet operators, it unlocks a new level of data-driven management. And for passengers, it ensures a safer, smarter, and more reliable ride.
Flywheel has already modernized how passengers hail and pay for taxis. By integrating Nexar’s technology, they’re taking the next step—bringing telematics, vision-based safety analytics, and predictive intelligence into the everyday taxi experience.
Why This Matters Now
The taxi industry has been through a decade of disruption. And taxis still matter. They’re essential to city infrastructure, offer regulated pricing, and serve communities rideshare apps often ignore. By partnering with Flywheel, we’re investing in that future—giving drivers the tools to compete and cities a more intelligent transportation option.
We’re proud to be part of this transformation.
More soon,
Zach
