Biometric video monitoring of drivers shows real promise to help build safer driving habits, but it’s also raised privacy concern among drivers and unions.
Through Safe Fleet’s new MobileMule AI, video recordings of drivers can be blurred or blacked out entirely while still capturing driver movement and giving fleets the data they need to help address and improve driver safety.
MobileMule AI was one of three new products unveiled by Safe Fleet this week at The Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. The Missouri-based company also announced its wireless rear-view camera system, Air Vue, and FoldPro Shelving for delivery vans and box trucks.
MobileMule AI captured a lot of interest at Safe Fleet’s exhibit given its new blurred and blackout features, which still keeps up with driver biometrics without actually showing the driver on screen.
Safe Fleet executives report that the technology is catching the attention of unions and fleets that wish to balance fleet safety needs without rocking the boat over driver privacy concerns.
