Blind spots are scary, but they don’t have to be with Samsara AI Multicam

When managing a fleet, some of the “spookiest” things you’ll face are actually what you don’t see: blind spots. On the road, while reversing lanes, alongside your vehicle or behind it—these hidden danger zones can catch even the most attentive drivers by surprise. FMCSA research reports that 14% of severe large-truck crashes happen because a driver didn’t spot a hazard in a blind spot, even though they looked in the right direction.

To mark Halloween, let’s talk about those blind-spot frights and how you can bring clarity, confidence and safety to your fleet so those ghosts stay out of your operations.

Eliminate blind spots with 360-degree visibility, powered by Samsara AI Multicam

Samsara’s AI Multicam delivers real-time visibility that helps fleets see what could be missed. For operators of large vehicles, from big rigs to school buses, every unseen angle carries real risk. AI Multicam provides the awareness needed to navigate tight spaces, protect pedestrians, and prevent costly incidents before they happen. It’s a smarter, more comprehensive approach to fleet safety.

Here’s how it works:

• Complete coverage, inside and out. Connect up to four auxiliary HD cameras anywhere around the vehicle—sides, rear, interior, or specialized zones—to give drivers a full picture of their surroundings.

• AI that sees what drivers can’t. Real-time detection and in-cab alerts identify pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users across all connected cameras, helping prevent collisions before they occur.

• Visibility where it matters most. An in-cab monitor provides live video from every angle, so drivers can make informed, confident decisions, especially in crowded yards or busy loading zones.

• Flexible by design. AI Multicam integrates seamlessly with Samsara AI Dash Cameras, Vehicle Gateways, and Auxiliary Cameras, as well as many third-party cameras—no complex DVRs or multiplexers required.

AI Multicam gives teams full context after every incident, which means they can resolve incidents faster and with confidence. With AI Multicam, you can:

• Accelerate investigations with complete context enabled by audio and extended video downloads (up to 10 minutes)

• Exonerate drivers with definitive video evidence from synchronized HD footage across multiple cameras

• Reduce insurance claims costs and customer disputes by providing proof of service

Blind spots may have haunted drivers in the past, but now they don’t have to. With the right technology, the right setup, and the right mindset, you can bring clarity to your fleet, empower your drivers, and build a safety culture that sees into every shadow. This season, eliminate the tricks and treat your team to visibility.
