Who owns the data?
The owner. Carkenny is designed so the owner decides what is recorded, how long it is kept and who can see it.
Built to work with partners
A patent-backed event record that fits the cameras and sensors vehicles already have. Pick your role to see the problem, the benefits and a first pilot.
Who it's for
Pick the role closest to yours. Each opens the problem, the benefits and a first pilot.
Use cases by partner
Already on the road
Automakers have started shipping cameras, sensors and connected services that point toward an event record. Select a brand to see what is in the car today, where the sensors sit, and what a Carkenny record would add.
Brand names are used only to describe features that are publicly documented by each company. Carkenny is not affiliated with, endorsed by or in partnership with any automaker named here. Features differ by model, year and plan.
What a partnership looks like
The record is designed to run on hardware that is already in the car. Here is what we would look at together.
In-cabin compatibility checklist
- Cabin camera: passenger positions and driver view
- Microphone: audio-derived passenger actions
- Vehicle bus: speed and malfunction signals
- Connected module: time-stamped storage and live notification to the owner's phone
- Consent and privacy controls: owner-set recording and sharing
What we would ask for
- A pilot on one model line or fleet
- Access to documented camera, microphone and bus interfaces
- Test vehicles and an engineering contact
- Licensing talks once the pilot proves value
Questions partners ask
Does it need new hardware?
Not to start. Carkenny first connects through the car's own app, then goes deeper with an automaker. See the stages.
Will a court accept it?
That is the court's decision. Carkenny aims to make records easier to authenticate, with timestamps and a second source for speed.
