AI-powered dash cams now actively monitor driver fatigue, signaling commercial drivers when it’s time to take a break.

These advanced systems use various behavioral cues to detect drowsiness, utilizing machine learning for more accurate detection.

Companies like Samsara and Nauto have developed technology that issues audio alerts to drivers, aiming to reduce fatigue-related accidents.

If a driver ignores these alerts, the system can notify fleet managers, who can then intervene to ensure safety.

This technology represents a significant evolution from earlier systems that monitored fewer signs of fatigue.

Efforts are ongoing to refine these AI models, ensuring they are reliable and minimize false alerts while enhancing road safety. #
