Nauto’s AI Cameras Aim to Reduce Distracted Driving Accidents, Saving Lives and Costs

Nauto’s AI-powered cameras aim to reduce distracted driving accidents by monitoring both the road and the driver, providing real-time alerts and valuable data for fleet operators.

Key features of Nauto’s AI cameras: Nauto’s dual-facing cameras are designed to enhance driver safety and reduce collisions in commercial fleets:

• The camera system points both at the road to detect hazards and at the driver to identify signs of drowsiness, distraction, or policy violations such as not wearing a seatbelt or using a cell phone.
• Real-time alerts are issued to immediately capture the driver’s attention when risks are detected, giving them critical extra time to react and avoid accidents.
• The AI algorithms differentiate between pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists, providing distinct alerts when there is a risk of colliding with these vulnerable road users.

Addressing the epidemic of distracted driving: Nauto’s technology tackles the growing problem of distracted driving, which accounts for a significant portion of traffic fatalities and severe accidents:

• Distracted driving fatalities in the U.S. are estimated to exceed 10,000 per year, representing 29% of all traffic fatalities, with driver distraction responsible for more than 58% of teen crashes.
• Texting while driving, which involves manual, visual, and cognitive distractions, makes drivers 30 times more dangerous than normal driving, highlighting the need for effective solutions to combat this epidemic.

Proven results and rapid ROI: Nauto’s AI cameras have demonstrated significant benefits for commercial fleets, reducing collisions and delivering fast return on investment:

• Customers across multiple industries have reported collision reductions of 40% to 80% after implementing Nauto’s technology, with the company helping to avoid about 30,000 collisions to date.
• The solution provides rapid ROI for all types of commercial vehicles by improving driver safety performance, reducing collision losses, and saving lives, while preserving driver privacy by only recording and sending video during critical safety incidents.

Broader implications and future growth: As distracted driving continues to pose a major risk on the roads, Nauto’s AI-powered cameras offer a promising solution for enhancing driver safety and reducing the devastating impact of accidents:

• With nearly 1,000 fleets already using Nauto’s technology and plans for expansion into new markets, the company is well-positioned to make a significant impact on road safety worldwide.
• The integration of Nauto’s software into vehicle fleets designed by auto manufacturers presents a substantial growth opportunity, given the 32 million commercial vehicles on U.S. roads alone.
• By potentially eliminating two-thirds of collisions in just one month, Nauto’s AI technology has the potential to surpass the seatbelt as the most effective automotive safety innovation in history, making a profound difference in saving lives and reducing the immense costs associated with accidents.
