Motive, the leader in Automated Operations for the physical economy, announced a series of innovations that expand the functionality of its leading Driver Safety Solution to combat worsening safety conditions. The new AI capabilities further improve the unrivaled accuracy of the Motive AI Dashcam by adding new types of safety and risk triggers that improve protection for drivers and reduce liability for customers.
Motive also launched its inaugural State of Safety Report, revealing a gap between organizations’ safety priorities and their understanding of how improved safety increases productivity and profitability. The research underscores persistent issues that businesses that operate commercial vehicles are grappling with – including an uncertain economic outlook and increases in dangerous and fatal safety incidents.

New AI Dashcam capabilities from Motive include:
- Improved collision detection: Detects collisions with industry-leading accuracy, providing fleet managers with real-time video visibility within minutes. Enhancements enable fleet managers to take swift action as well as provide evidence in the case of litigation.
- Stop sign violation: Identifies stop signs and detects if a driver fails to come to a complete stop. Rolling stops are frequently ticketed and they are one of the leading causes of accidents.
- Driver distraction: Detects and alerts drivers when they are looking downward due to eating, drinking, smoking, drowsiness, cell phone use or general inattentiveness.
- Unsafe lane changes: Alerts drivers when they are swerving, weaving, or switching lanes at high speeds as well as adherence to the road lanes, regardless of lane type.
- Camera obstruction: Detects any camera obstruction or improper installation, whether road-facing or driver-facing, and alerts the driver and fleet manager instantly.
The latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows traffic deaths reached a 16-year high in 2021, with truck crash deaths jumping 13% year over year. In 2021, transportation incidents were the most frequent cause of work-related death, leading to the loss of nearly 2,000 lives. Unfortunately, this issue is not exclusive to trucking – a new investigation from Construction Dive found that construction’s death rate hasn’t budged in 10 years, despite ongoing efforts to improve it.
