Never drive alone with Guardian AI on your side. Guardian AI is your Co-Driver for every drive in the UAE. It guides you lane by lane, warns you before accident-prone stretches, watches for crashes, and scores every trip so you know how you drive and what it costs you in fuel. WARNED FIRST During navigation, Guardian AI flags accident-prone areas as you approach them, so you can ease off before it matters. YOUR CAR SCREEN, REBUILT Plug into CarPlay and your trip starts on its own. 3D maps, motorway-style signs, lane arrows and the live speed limit, right where you need them. Unplug when you park and the trip ends. Turn-by-turn carries on from your phone if you unplug mid-route. ASK CO-DRIVER Open any trip once you have parked and ask what changed your score or where your fuel went. The trip debrief shows where it happened on a map, and every number in an answer comes from your own drive. BURN FEWER LITRES Smooth driving burns less fuel. Every trip shows its estimated fuel use and cost, and what driving cost you this month, fuel and Salik included, next to the latest official UAE fuel prices. YOUR DRIVE, SCORED Get a safety score the moment you park, with the route on a map, distance, speed and estimated fuel. Safe drives earn points. FAMILY, IN THE LOOP Invite a family member by email and they get your trip report after every drive. Crash detection arms itself while you drive, and auto-recording logs every trip without a tap. BEFORE YOU GO Search any place and compare routes side by side, with time, distance and toll-free options before you set off. YOUR LICENCE Track your black points against the 24-point limit, count down early-payment fine discounts, and set a reminder for MOI's Accident-Free Day. YOUR CAR Plug in an OBD-II adapter and Guardian AI runs a health check on your engine, battery and emissions, flags fault codes in plain language, and keeps a history of every scan. SafeScan photo records, your documents and claims live in Garage too. Start your first drive.
