description: >-
  Zendrive Inc. was a San Francisco mobility risk intelligence company that turned an ordinary
  smartphone into a telematics sensor. Its product was a mobile SDK, not an HTTP API: an app
  embedded the Zendrive SDK, which automatically detected the start and end of every drive,
  collected accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS data with minimal battery impact, raised
  in-process callbacks for trip and collision events, and uploaded the drive for scoring.
  Fleets, rideshare operators and auto insurers consumed the resulting analytics — collision
  detection and severity, distracted driving, speeding, star ratings — through a dashboard and
  an Analytics REST API, with rideshare insurance-period modelling and a US/EU data-residency
  selector. Intuit acquired Zendrive's technology for Credit Karma's Karma Drive in 2024 and
  the developer program was shut down: as probed 2026-09-05 every Zendrive host is dead. Only
  the SDK reference, sample apps and published packages survive.

x-acquisition-note: >-
  Intuit acquired technology from Zendrive to power Credit Karma's Karma Drive usage-based
  auto insurance product, along with CEO Dennis Ellis, co-founder/CTO Pankaj Risbood and
  certain employees. Terms were not disclosed. Announced 2024-06-13, closed Q4 FY24.
x-domain-status: decommissioned
x-domain-note: >-
  zendrive.com and www.zendrive.com have NO A/AAAA record — the zone is still on Cloudflare
  nameservers and still carries Google Workspace MX records, but nothing answers on HTTP.
  developers.zendrive.com, app.zendrive.com, api.zendrive.com, iql.zendrive.com and
  status.zendrive.com are NXDOMAIN. docs.zendrive.com is a dangling Cloudflare CNAME and
  returns HTTP 403 with the 17-byte body "error code: 1014" on every path, including every
  /.well-known/ and spec path. None of those 403s is a document. No Website pointer is wired,
  because the company has no live site; the Forge Global secondary-market listing that seeded
  this record is kept under x-harvest-source-url rather than as a Website, since a trading
  venue page is not a company web presence. See well-known/zendrive-well-known.yml.
