# Zendrive

> Zendrive Inc. was a San Francisco mobility risk intelligence company that measured driving
> behavior from ordinary smartphone sensors. Its product was a mobile SDK, not an HTTP API:
> an app embedded the Zendrive SDK, the SDK detected the start and end of every drive,
> collected accelerometer/gyroscope/GPS data with minimal battery impact, and uploaded it to
> Zendrive for scoring — collision detection, distracted driving, speeding, phone handling —
> which fleets and auto insurers consumed through a dashboard and an Analytics REST API.
> Intuit announced on 2024-06-13 that it would acquire Zendrive's technology for Credit
> Karma's usage-based auto insurance product, Karma Drive, taking on Zendrive's CEO and
> co-founder/CTO. The developer program was shut down afterwards.

## Status (probed 2026-09-05)

- The developer program is END OF LIFE. No new integration is possible.
- zendrive.com and www.zendrive.com have NO DNS A record. 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: every path returns HTTP 403 with the body
  "error code: 1014" (CNAME Cross-User Banned). It is not documentation, it is an edge error.
- No OpenAPI, Swagger, GraphQL SDL, AsyncAPI, agent card, llms.txt, MCP server or
  /.well-known/ document is served on any reachable Zendrive host.
- SDK setup validates the application key against Zendrive's servers over the network, and no
  new application key can be obtained, so the surviving binaries below cannot be initialized.

## What is still online (all first-party, all read-only)

- [iOS SDK reference](https://zendrive-root.bitbucket.io/ios/docs/latest/index.html):
  ZendriveSDK 10.1.0, last regenerated 2024-06-25, served from Zendrive Inc's own Bitbucket
  Pages workspace.
- [Android SDK javadoc](https://zendrive-root.bitbucket.io/android/docs/latest/index.html):
  Zendrive SDK for Android v10.1.0.
- [React Native SDK guide](https://react-native-zendrive-guide-v2.netlify.app/readme)
- [React Native SDK API reference](https://react-native-zendrive-api-v2.netlify.app/)
- [React Native release notes](https://master--react-native-zendrive-guide-v2.netlify.app/releases)
- [GitHub organization](https://github.com/zendrive): two sample apps,
  zendrive-sdk-ios-sample and zendrive-sdk-android-sample.

## Packages

- Maven Central `com.zendrive.sdk.android:ZendriveSDK` 10.1.0 (2024-06-24), plus `-HMS`
  (Huawei Mobile Services) and `-testing` (trip simulation) at the same version.
- npm `react-native-zendrive` 7.0.5 (2024-07-03), published by Zendrive Inc.
- npm `com.zendrive.phonegap.sdk` 2.3.4 (2021-04-07), the superseded Cordova/PhoneGap plugin.
- The iOS SDK was never on CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager; it was delivered as a binary
  framework through the developer portal that no longer resolves.

## Integration model

- Authentication: a single opaque `applicationKey` (SDK key) plus a caller-chosen `driverId`,
  both required in `ZendriveConfiguration` and validated at
  `+[Zendrive setupWithConfiguration:delegate:completionHandler:]`. No OAuth, no scopes.
- Data residency: `ZendriveConfiguration.region` is `ZendriveRegionUS` (default) or
  `ZendriveRegionEU`, fixed at setup and changeable only after `wipeOut`.
- Events arrive as in-process delegate callbacks (`ZendriveDelegateProtocol`), not webhooks.
- Errors are `NSError` in `kZendriveErrorDomain`; 23 codes are published.
- Insurance periods 1/2/3 are modelled directly (`ZendriveInsurance`,
  `ZendriveInsurancePeriod`) for rideshare/TNC coverage.
- Testing is simulation, not a hosted sandbox: the `ZendriveSDK-testing` Maven artifact, the
  `Mock-ZendriveSDKDemo` iOS target, "Simulate Preset Drives", and `ZendriveMockAccidentConfig`.

## Artifacts in this profile

- packages/zendrive-packages.yml — every registry-published client library, with versions and dates
- errors/zendrive-error-codes.yml — the 23 published SDK error codes
- authentication/zendrive-authentication.yml — the application-key model and data residency
- sandbox/zendrive-sandbox.yml — the trip-simulation harness
- changelog/zendrive-changelog.yml — React Native SDK release notes
- lifecycle/zendrive-lifecycle.yml — acquisition timeline, end-of-life state, surviving surfaces
- conformance/zendrive-conformance.yml — standards conformance, mostly negative
- well-known/zendrive-well-known.yml — the full negative discovery probe
- plans/zendrive-plans-pricing.yml, rate-limits/zendrive-rate-limits.yml — honest zeros
- mcp/zendrive-mcp.yml — searched absence; no MCP server exists and none was derived

## Notes for agents

- Do not attempt to call a Zendrive API. There is no reachable host.
- Do not confuse Zendrive with Fairmatic (founded by Zendrive's original founder, now
  redirecting to leeoinsurance.com), with Damoov/Telematics SDK, or with Zendesk.
- github.com/caarbon/zendrive and github.com/fleetio/zendrive are third-party wrappers of the
  retired Analytics REST API. They are not published by Zendrive.
