Former Irish rugby captain Brian O’Driscoll and two business partners have invested €400,000 in Irish e-scooter start-up Luna.

Luna uses computer vision and artificial intelligence to improve e-scooter safety.

“I had been looking at the micromobility space for a while,” said O’Driscoll, who is also an investor in e-scooter company Zipp.
