AI-Powered Safety Delivers Tangible Operational Improvements
At the core of Samsara’s expansion is its advanced safety platform. The latest Samsara Safety Report revealed that fleets using the company’s dual-facing AI dash cameras, real-time alerts, and driver coaching saw a 37% drop in accidents within the first six months of use—and an eye-catching 73% reduction after 30 months. Larger fleets (500+ vehicles) achieved even stronger safety outcomes, with an 84% reduction in harsh driving events and near-elimination (98% reduction) in mobile device usage behind the wheel.
This safety innovation isn’t limited to statistics—major enterprise wins include the State of New York, a leading oilfield services provider, and Cadent (the UK’s largest gas distribution network). Samsara’s suite of new products (AI Multicam, Asset Maintenance, Asset Tags, Connected Training, Connected Workflows) contributed 20% of net new ACV this quarter, underscoring its growing impact beyond legacy telematics.
