The Geotab launch also highlights another structural change.

The boundary between traditional telematics and video telematics is disappearing.

Geotab now connects approximately six million vehicles and assets and says it processes around 100 billion data points every day.

Traditional telematics might identify harsh braking.

Video can explain why it happened.

AI can determine whether the event represents meaningful risk.

And an intelligent platform can decide whether intervention is necessary.
