The Problem

After a crash, the EDR captures 5 seconds of pre-impact data. Insurers need fault determination. Attorneys need reconstruction. Neither can interpret EDR data without expensive specialists charging $500/hour.

Why You Win

You understand vehicle dynamics, sensor fusion, and the physics that connect EDR data fields to real-world crash scenarios. This is specialized knowledge.

Solo Founder Path

Build a tool that parses EDR data from common formats, reconstructs the crash scenario visually, and generates an expert-level report. Sell to insurers and law firms.

How AI Agents Scale It

AI agents process crash reports at scale, identify patterns, generate reconstruction reports in minutes instead of the weeks that human experts require.
