Driver-Facing Dash Cams Now Use A.I. to Catch Truckers On Their Phones

<p>Over the last three years, hundreds of thousands of freight trucks in the United States have been equipped with machine learning algorithms to analyze drivers&rsquo; behavior. They can detect how many times per trip drivers pick up their cellphone, get distracted while driving, or even just look fatigued when they&rsquo;re behind the wheel.</p> <p>The tech is built into driver-facing dash cameras, which have been adopted by the trucking industry over the last 10 years.

But the ability to proactively recognize behaviors in the cabin using machine learning adds a new layer of surveillance to the cameras. Rather than just reacting to a hard brake or a swerve of the truck, the A.I.-powered cameras respond to the driver themselves.</p> <p><a href="https://onezero.medium.com/driver-facing-dash-cams-now-use-a-i-to-catch-truckers-on-their-phones-61b9dd2dc8e0"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
