PathPulse AI Funding for Decentralized Road Intelligence Development
Dubai, UAE, December 3rd, 2025, Chainwire
PathPulse AI, the decentralized road-intelligence network that turns every vehicle into a real-time data node, today announced the successful close of its $900,000 pre-seed round and grants.
Using only a smartphone, PathPulse AI enables any driver to contribute to a global mobility-intelligence network which powers safer, smarter, and more responsive cities. By extracting 60+ types of road insights from live driving footage, PathPulse AI provides critical real-time infrastructure data for governments, mapping platforms, autonomous systems, and smart-city developers.
Transforming Every Vehicle into a Real-Time Sensor
Through AI-driven video analytics and their frictionless mobile app ‘Scout,’ PathPulse AI converts everyday driving into actionable intelligence:
• AI-Powered Mobile App
Turns any driver’s phone into a live road-scanning node
• Civic Safety Network
Detects over-speeding, broken tail lights, abrupt lane changes, and unsafe driving behavior
• Road Infrastructure Intelligence
Maps potholes, speed bumps, damaged road markings, and 30+ additional conditions
• Tokenized Contributor Economy
Rewards drivers and node operators via $PULS tokens (launching soon)
PathPulse AI’s technology is already deployed at scale, including an active pilot operation in South Africa, supporting real-time safety monitoring and road-infrastructure intelligence.
“With PathPulse AI, Timo Rides drivers get an additional revenue stream, and governments get access to data that makes roads safer. It’s a winning combination which we are excited to explore with stakeholders across Africa.” — Max Gershfield, CSO of Timo Rides
To date, PathPulse AI has captured, validated, and verified over $5 million worth of road-safety violations, demonstrating its immediate operational value for transportation authorities and mobility partners.
