The dashcam is becoming a sensor

ABAX launched Vision AI for UK fleets during August.

The platform combines vehicle tracking with intelligent video and can detect fatigue, distraction, mobile-phone use, tailgating and lane drift.

Drivers can receive immediate in-cab warnings.

Traditional vehicle cameras answered: what happened? AI cameras increasingly attempt to answer: what's happening right now - and can we prevent what happens next?

A camera used primarily for evidence can help reduce the cost of a collision. A camera capable of preventing the collision could eliminate that cost entirely.

For insurers and large self-insured fleets, that distinction is enormous.
