Good Driver Mutuality: Using AI to Redefine Mutuality Service and Lead an Auto Repair Efficiency Revolution
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 13, 2025 / In Silicon Valley, where cutting-edge technology meets community-driven innovation - Good Driver Mutuality (GDM) is reinventing the concept of mutual aid through artificial intelligence. Designed for America's safest drivers, this platform builds a modern community rooted in ancient wisdom: sharing risks, reducing costs, and fostering collective responsibility. By breaking down the barriers of time and distance, GDM is breathing new life into mutual aid for the digital age.
1. From Neighborhood Assistance to Nationwide Networks: A New Mutual Aid Paradigm
GDM does not provide insurance products - it operates as a tech-powered community where safe drivers band together to support members' vehicle repairs after accidents with small, voluntary contributions. Unused funds stay with members who remain accident-free, lowering costs for the careful while encouraging safer driving habits. It's a double win: drivers save money, and roads become safer for everyone.
What once was neighborly help for fires and floods now finds a new home on GDM's digital platform. With technology as the bridge, even strangers can build trust and share risk. This modern mutual aid model retains the core spirit of empathy and solidarity while adding transparency, efficiency, and scalability.
2. Four AI-Driven Core Capabilities Reshaping Costs and User Experience
GDM harnesses the power of advanced AI to drive every facet of its operations, embedding innovation at the core of its business. By integrating cutting-edge technology, GDM ensures long-term competitiveness while consistently delivering meaningful, high-value products.
AI-Powered Operational Cost Optimization
GDM integrates AI agents across its operations, targeting real-world pain points. Many industry insights remain untapped by large language models, while massive amounts of operational data remain unstructured - a prime opportunity for AI to drive efficiency at scale. Tasks that once relied on human experts are now automated, operating 24/7 with precision while dramatically cutting labor costs.
In the notoriously tough U.S. car insurance market, where data sets, customer lifecycles, and regional dynamics make standardized pricing nearly impossible, GDM cracked the code. Its AI rapidly identifies key factors and processes messy, unstructured data. Evolving from a support tool into a fully autonomous agent, it delivers fair, competitive pricing for safe drivers and removes entry barriers for new members.
3 A Tech Framework Restructuring the Service Chain
In the U.S. auto insurance market, Loss Adjustment Expenses (LAE) are typically high, making up a significant portion of premiums. GDM eliminates this inefficiency. Members submit incident reports directly through the GDM app and by speaking with a phone agent, where mutuality advisors verify eligibility and initiate repair workflows.
GDM's '3A Technology Matrix' (App, Application Programming Interfaces (API), and AI) aims to significantly reduce post-incident expenses, resulting in cost savings of nearly 10%.
This is made possible through an intelligent incident triage system:
The vast majority of cases- minor, routine, or standard - are handled without human intervention. Only a limited number of complex incidents (unique or challenging situations, or total loss cases) require manual review. This paves the way for zero-touch service and value-driven cost control, redefining efficiency standards for accident management.
Miles: AI-Powered 24/7 Multilingual Customer Support
GDM's proprietary AI customer service assistant, Miles, has evolved into a multimodal interaction hub capable of instant responses in 18 languages, all within a second. Miles continuously improves its knowledge base through user feedback and business development, maintaining a 99.2% accuracy rate in query resolution.
AI Assistants Driving Growth for Affiliates
GDM's AI tools also aim to transform how affiliate partners work. Key features include:
This AI-human hybrid model offers affiliates a 24/7 virtual assistant, turning data into action and strategies into instant execution.
3. Technology for Good: Building Safer Roads for Everyone
GDM's AI-driven mutual aid model has already helped some accident-free members save up to 40% at the end of their mutuality plans. 'Our goal isn't just to reduce costs for safe drivers through smart technology,' says the GDM founder. 'We're building a future of safer, fairer roads where good drivers save more, and communities stay protected.'
And here's the bigger picture: when safe drivers are rewarded meaningfully, road safety shifts from passive enforcement to proactive prevention - a win for individuals, families, and society as a whole.

Las Vegas agrees two-year Formula One contract extension through 2027
MONTREAL — The Las Vegas Grand Prix will remain part of the Formula One calendar for at least the next two years after officials confirmed they have agreed an extension to cover 2026 and 2027. Las Vegas joined the F1 calendar in 2023 on an initial three-year contract, albeit with a long-term commitment in place from the casino partners and a 10-year approval from Clark County for the race to take place along the Strip. Advertisement Earlier this week, F1 announced the 2026 calendar including Las Vegas despite there being no formal communication about the race being renewed beyond this year. Senior leadership members from casino partners including Wynn, the MGM Grand, Caesars and the Venetian, plus the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, were in Montreal on Saturday to take part in a media panel discussing the future of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and referred to an 'extension' being in place. Asked by The Athletic to clarify the contractual status of the grand prix, Emily Prazer, the president of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and chief commercial officer of F1, confirmed that a two-year renewal had been agreed by the various partners. 'We've agreed collectively that we're going to do a two-year extension for 2026 and '27,' Prazer said. 'We want to make sure that we're continuing to evolve what we're doing. But the intent is a much longer-term arrangement. 'As we all know, the race has had its challenges, but we're coming out the other side. So we want to make sure that it continues to work for both sides. 'So collectively, we sat down and agreed that was the best approach. We're very much planning longer-term, but that's kind of where we're at right now.' Steve Hill, the CEO and president of the LVCVA, added: 'The length of extensions don't really reflect anything other than it just makes sense incrementally, we know what's going to happen over the next couple of years. 'We're planning on this being a permanent race, we'll just keep planning extensions that will probably expand as we go forward.' The Las Vegas Grand Prix endured a tricky debut in 2023 amid concerns from fans about ticket and hotel prices, as well as an issue with a loose water valve cover on Thursday night in practice that led to FP1 being cancelled and FP2 being significantly delayed. Advertisement But it ended up being one of the best races of the year with plenty of overtaking, and the track layout proved popular with the drivers, while the high price points were addressed for 2024, including a significant drop in hotel rates. For 2025, officials in Las Vegas have brought forward the start time from its previous slot of 10 p.m. PT on Saturday to 8 p.m. after feedback from both paddock personnel and fans about it being too late to start the race.

New iPhone Warning: Another Phone Will No Longer Receive Support
Friday the 13th has a ring of bad luck to it, and this month, it has brought a change of status to the iPhone XS. As of June 13, that phone is added to its vintage product list. Here's why, and what it means. Apple iPhone XS T3 Magazine/Future via Getty Images Apple adds products to its vintage (and later its obsolete) lists on a strict schedule, shown on a support page. 'Products are considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago,' the company says. The iPhone XS went on sale in September 2018 and though it was discontinued a year later, it was still on sale through select resellers. So, that means it's only just passed the five-year point to reach vintage status, something spotted by Joe Rossignol at MacRumors. This doesn't mean the phone is no longer usable, nor that Apple won't support it — though it's now on a countdown to obsolete, which will mean it's not supported at all. More on that below. For now, you can still get the phone repaired either by an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, although this is subject to the continuing availability of parts, and there's no guarantee how long that will be. As for software support, the iPhone XS runs the current software, iOS 18, but it will not be compatible with this fall's update, which is called iOS 26 (as part of a wholesale renaming policy by Apple for the operating systems for all its devices) though the latest iPhone 16 series will be supported. This also doesn't mean it won't receive software updates. Apple routinely releases new updates to the previous OS when the next one launches, primarily for those users who aren't ready to jump on board with the next version. Additionally, it will usually continue with software updates containing security fixes, for instance, for some months after the new OS has taken root. Things change when the iPhone reaches obsolete status, which for the iPhone XS will be in two years' time. 'Products are considered obsolete when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 7 years ago… Apple discontinues all hardware service for obsolete products, and service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products,' the company says. For now, though, if you're happy with the iPhone XS, there's no urgent need to switch.

The Chime IPO Will Kickstart A Fintech Investment Comeback
Chris Britt, co-founder and chief executive officer of Chime Financial Inc., during the company's ... More initial public offering at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York, US, on Thursday, June 12, 2025. Chime launched its IPO with a splash. Shares jumped as much as 59% above the $27 offering price—opening at $43 and closing near $37—marking a bold public debut for the US's largest neobank. With a valuation hovering between $11.6 billion and $15 billion—well below its 2021 private peak of $25 billion—the surge raises the question: Will this trigger renewed investment in neobanks and fintech? Chime's IPO follows strong debuts from fintechs like Circle and eToro. PitchBook's Rudy Yang framed Chime as 'a strategic breakthrough—marking a return of fintech liquidity' after the sector saw VC exit values plummet from $222 billion in 2021 to under $30 billion in the past few years. Chime could be a bellwether for a neobank--and broader fintech--recovery if it: There is another side of the coin: Is Chime's IPO really a pivotal moment for the fintech industry and a validation of the digital-banking model and a template for future bank challengers? No. Chime's debut feels more like a secure base camp than a flag planted atop Everest. It suggests that public markets are open to credible fintech challengers—provided they bring scale, strong unit economics, and realistic valuations. The critical questions for neobanks: 1) Can they diversify revenue beyond interchange (loans, wealth, insurance)? 2) Will macro conditions hold stable enough to sustain IPO markets? 3) Will consumer-trust and customer growth trajectories support future public offerings? The answers are no. There are market factors impacting neobanks that have closed the door to new neobanks coming into the market: 1) Megafintechs have better economics and business models. Among consumers who consider a digital bank or neobank their primary checking account or payments provider, half of them say their primary provider is PayPal or Square Cash App. Neobanks don't just compete with incumbent banks—they compete with the megafintechs, whose platform business models give them scale and revenue diversity. 2) Interchange isn't a reliable revenue source. Relying on interchange runs against consumer behavior trends regarding: 3) The niche affinity play is tough for startups. This strategy requires neobanks to identify a segment's unique financial needs and Be the dominant affinity. Neobanks' claims of how big their affinity groups are misleading because most of us belong to multiple affinity groups. Fintech has entered a new phase—one defined by realism, consumer impact, and long-term value creation. The new phase, however, isn't about bank disruption and displacement--it's about banking industry infrastructure upgrade and replacement. The Chime IPO will help create more VC interest in fintech investment--but that investment won't go to new neobanks. Instead, it will go to startups that bring two things to the financial services industry: 1) AI-driven process reinvention from machine learning, Generative AI, and Agentic AI tools and technologies, and 2) Stablecoin and other cryptocurrency-related payments innovation. The latter may do more to disrupt banks than Chime and other neobanks have done.
