Nauto, a provider of AI-powered safety and operations technology for fleets, announced the introduction of new telematics capabilities offering visibility into vehicle tracking, utilization, misuse, and maintenance planning.

Marrying AI Technology with Telematics

The technology delivers telematics alongside AI-powered driver and vehicle safety capabilities on a single device and a single software platform.

This streamlined solution curbs the proliferation of devices within the already crowded fleet vehicle cabs, helping fleet operators trim costs and maximize efficiencies.

Nauto has also further enhanced its safety capabilities with new detectors designed to provide distinct alerts that differentiate between pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists, when there is a risk detected of colliding with one of these vulnerable road users.

A Nauto press release pointed to CDC data which indicates that in 2021, one in six people who died in crashes were pedestrians.

"We are thrilled to announce the integration of core telematics functionality into our safety platform. With this enhancement, we're streamlining the fleet management experience, offering a comprehensive solution that simplifies the complex landscape of multiple technologies," Nauto Chief Product Officer Yoav Banin said. "Our goal is to provide fleets with a single, powerful solution that not only enhances driver and road safety, but also optimizes day-to-day operations and reduces cost. Furthermore, the new detector for vulnerable road users represents a significant milestone on the Road to Zero fatalities."

Modern commercial fleets face a multitude of safety and operational challenges, including heightened collision-related losses, a surge in fatalities and injuries, elevated driver turnover rates, diminished productivity, escalated fuel, and insurance costs, increasing operational costs, and the growing expenses associated with technology management.

Nauto's solution addresses safety and operational challenges by:

• Delivering ROI for fleets of all sizes and all types of commercial vehicles from sedans, SUVs, pickups, van, to large heavy trucks

• Providing safety results by helping improve driver safety performance, reduce collision losses, and save lives.

• Helping to reduce driver churn and automate training through a driver-friendly solution that safeguards driver privacy, helps prevent collisions, and detect policy violations and alerts that can improve driver performance in just two weeks, performance analytics, and driver appreciation that their fleet has the best-in-class safety solution in the industry

• Delivering increased operational efficiency using a single device and a single pane of glass for safety and telematics.
