AI Dashcam Boosts Driver Safety

Driving trucks is one of the unappreciated backbones of modern civilization. It’s also hard and sometimes dangerous work. But technology is being spun up to make the job safer and easier.

A new class of devices is being targeted at fleets that helps drivers elude accidents by flagging risky situations. The new systems use convolutional neural networks running in the vehicle (“edge” AI) and in the cloud to fuse data inputs from on-board vehicle diagnostics, along with data from cameras facing the…
