Cambridge Mobile Telematics has quietly become one of the most important companies you’ve never heard of in the race to make driving safer—and now some of the world’s biggest insurers are doubling down on it. The Cambridge, Mass.–based company has secured a $350 million strategic investment led by TPG’s Rise Funds and Allianz X, Fortune exclusively learned, with existing backer State Farm also participating in the all-secondary deal.

CMT builds AI-powered telematics software that turns everyday devices—smartphones, car sensors, dashcams, and other connected hardware—into real-time risk detectors on the road. Its DriveWell Fusion platform ingests sensor data from millions of devices and fuses it with contextual information, creating a unified view of how people actually drive, from hard braking and speeding to phone distraction. Insurers, automakers, and public agencies then use those insights to price risk, detect crashes, and nudge drivers toward safer habits.
