FRANKFURT -- Daimler took part in a round of financing for Tel Aviv-based startup Anagog, the automaker said in a statement, without providing financial details.
Anagog has developed software for apps that evaluate user behavior directly in mobile phones, using sensors, and then predict future scenarios on the basis of artificial intelligence.
Last year, Anagog and Daimler launched the EQ Ready App, which helps drivers decide whether it makes sense for them to switch to greener car technology by recording real journeys and comparing them with electric and hybrid vehicles.
Daimler opened a Mercedes-Benz r&d center in Tel Aviv last year, making it one of a growing number of multinational firms seeking to tap into Israel's auto technology expertise as the industry moves toward self-driving cars.
