The findings reveal a step-change in AI-driven operations performance: Fleets that implement the full Samsara AI safety solution – including dual-facing AI dash cams, automated in-cab alerts and AI driver coaching – in aggregate see a 75% percent reduction in crash rates over 30 months, which is nearly twice the reduction typically seen among Samsara customers.
The report, which analysed data from more than 2,600 fleets across North America, the UK, Western Europe and Mexico, benchmarks key safety outcomes – including crash rates, harsh events, speeding and mobile usage – over a 30-month tenure to understand how AI, real-time visibility and coaching improve real-world fleet performance.
“The next chapter of road safety is fundamentally being written with AI,” said Johan Land, SVP of product and engineering, safety & AI at Samsara.
“These findings confirm that AI will be the most transformative technology we’ve seen for road safety, actively preventing crashes at scale. Dual-facing cameras give fleets full visibility into what’s happening inside and outside the cab and when that intelligence is paired with real-time alerts and automated coaching, the results are extraordinary.”
The analysis also shows that fleet safety improvements occur quickly and compound over time. Within the first six months on Samsara, fleets in aggregate saw a 48% decrease in harsh events and an 84% decrease in mobile usage; by month 30, those reductions reached 69% and 96% respectively, underscoring how intelligent feedback and visibility can reduce risk and prevent crashes before they happen.
