Nauto^® is a leading provider of innovative Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and Driver Management System (DMS) technology, dedicated to enhancing the safety of commercial fleets today and the evolving realm of autonomous vehicles. Their solutions integrate predictive AI technology and data science, drawing insights from over 1.7 billion AI-processed driving miles to proactively predict and prevent collisions. This unique approach significantly improves driver performance, reduces collision rates, and ensures a rapid return on investment, effectively mitigating high-impact risk factors. Trusted by nearly 800 fleets globally, Nauto is instrumental in reducing collision incidents by up to 80% through its predictive driver alerts.

Nauto^® Predictive Collision Alerts™

Nauto solution can provide drivers with additional warning time beyond what ADAS systems can do by understanding when a driver is distracted. Nauto has developed proprietary AI and data analytics models aimed at identifying and alerting drivers about imminent collisions in real-time by synthesizing critical inputs simultaneously. Their Predictive Collision Alerts empower drivers to anticipate risks arising from various factors such as other drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and changing traffic lights. These alerts are designed to be contextually smart, taking into account factors like active braking, vehicle speed, and other vehicle movements to notify drivers at crucial moments.

By assessing driver behavior, Predictive Collision Alerts provide distracted drivers with additional reaction time, allowing them to make safer decisions. Nauto's system addresses distractions like cell phone use, drowsiness, smoking, and lack of seat belt use. Moreover, the technology is adaptive, evolving over time as Nauto’s multi-task Convolutional Neural Networks model learns from critical contextual data, enhancing its effectiveness.

This collision avoidance system significantly extends drivers’ reaction times, potentially offering up to 100 extra feet for reaction when traveling at 60 mph. Operating akin to the human brain, Nauto continuously processes inputs from within and around the vehicle to gauge collision risk levels. As the risk intensifies, Predictive Collision Alerts prompt drivers to take action with increasing urgency, ensuring heightened safety awareness on the road.

Self-Guided Coaching

Nauto offers fleet drivers unprecedented access to their safety scores and event videos, empowering them to self-coach and enhance their behavior proactively, eliminating the need for formal driver training until necessary.

The system focuses on three key aspects:

1. Increase Adoption: Nauto fosters trust by safeguarding driver privacy and enabling drivers to self-coach, promoting a sense of ownership and responsibility for their safety scores.
2. Promote Transparency: Fleet drivers benefit from complete transparency, gaining full access to uploaded dash cam videos. This openness ensures drivers are aware of their recorded driving behavior.
3. Empower Drivers: Nauto delivers timely and relevant information to drivers, enabling them to make informed decisions about their behavior. By providing drivers with the same visibility into their driving habits as fleet managers, the Self-Guided Coaching feature equips drivers to enhance their behavior autonomously, leading to reduced losses and streamlined fleet operations.

Nauto's approach to fleet safety maintains driver privacy and allows self-coaching without the need for constant supervision. Only high-risk events are automatically uploaded to the cloud, eliminating the need for intrusive live streaming or unannounced drop-ins. This transparent approach ensures drivers have personalized insights into their safe driving behavior over time, tracked through Nauto's proprietary VERA Score™.

Additionally, Nauto's driver app provides valuable insights and context for every driving trip, including location, time, and detected events. By offering unparalleled access to high-risk and driver-initiated video events, Nauto promotes a culture of safety, building trust and engagement among drivers, ultimately enhancing overall fleet safety.

Incident Reporting

Nauto revolutionizes incident management with its real-time capabilities, utilizing in-vehicle AI to detect incidents and capture precise video, along with essential details like time, location, and other relevant information. This data is automatically used to create incident reports, ensuring efficient and reliable claims resolutions.

Key Features:

1. Real-time Incident Management: Nauto's in-vehicle AI detects incidents and captures crucial information, allowing for immediate incident reports. This real-time approach significantly enhances the efficiency of claims resolution processes.
2. Immediate Notifications: Receive instant notifications for detected collisions, enabling swift responses to incidents. Timely interventions help lower the costs associated with injuries, handling, and potential liabilities.
3. Automated Reporting: Incident reports are automatically populated with detailed video footage and comprehensive analysis for every collision. This automation streamlines the claims management process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
4. Driver Protection: Nauto's system safeguards drivers by combatting frivolous claims. On-demand video uploads provide evidence that can quickly resolve at-fault claims and protect drivers from wrongful allegations, saving both time and money.
5. Comprehensive Incident Details: Nauto's incident reports include in-depth analysis covering various aspects such as identification, injuries, damages, environment, driver changes, and location details. This comprehensive information aids in accurate claims assessment.
6. Protecting Drivers and Brands: On-demand video evidence not only resolves claims efficiently but also serves as a robust defense against wrongful claims. By protecting both drivers and the brand, Nauto ensures a reliable and trustworthy claims management process.

Nauto's Incident Detection and Reporting system offers immediate notifications and thorough incident details, enabling organizations to address incidents promptly, protect drivers, and reduce claims costs effectively.
