Though it has been three years since Jeremy Renner’s near-fatal Tahoe snowplow accident, the Marvel actor’s latest endeavor proves that the experience still remains top of mind.

The Modesto native announced on Wednesday, April 15, a partnership with New York-based artificial intelligence company RapidSOS, which aims to utilize the technology to share crucial information to 911 and first responder systems in emergency situations. Renner has also invested in the company. 

“There’s 150 people that are responsible for me not dying,” Renner told Fortune. “I’ll always be in debt to them and so thankful for my life. And that’s why I’m a part of this company, because I think it’ll help them do their job more efficiently, better, and that just trickles down into the person that they’re serving in an emergency.”

Renner’s partnership with RapidSOS also includes the short documentary “Behind the Emergency,” which follows the actor as he learns about modern emergency response technology. It’s set to premiere on April 29.

Founded in 2012, RapidSOS uses data from smartphones, wearable devices, 25 million cars, 450,000 buildings and millions of cameras to alert federal, state and local agencies of emergencies, Fortune reports. As of last year, it has supported response operations in more than 1.1 billion emergencies across 16 countries, according to the company. 

“First responders do extraordinary work every day,” Michael Martin, founder and CEO of RapidSOS, said in a statement. “But for too long we’ve asked them to rush into millions of emergencies with almost no information. In partnership with public safety, we are building the first AI platform developed for mission critical response operations — providing an immediate full picture of any emergency.”

Renner had his own firsthand experience with emergency response teams following his snowplow accident, which left him with 38 broken bones, a collapsed lung and a pierced liver. He has been open about his recovery process on social media and in his 2025 memoir, “My Next Breath,” which recounts the incident in excruciating detail. 

The “Mayor of Kingstown” actor told Fortune that the incident illuminated the fact that a lot of crucial information isn’t passed between various emergency response agencies on the scene.   

“I think all that information kind of needs to be shared,” he said, “and data is the most important, (especially) when the time is ticking.”
