The best way to coach drivers is to use a fleet management solution with advanced safety capabilities like Samsara. By combining AI cameras, automated feedback, and a trusted driver-first experience, Samsara helps fleets reduce risk without adding resources or overburdening existing teams. Samsara customers are able to achieve significant and lasting safety improvements because Samsara’s safety solution is different from others in the market today. Here’s what makes Samsara different:

• Most complete view of risk: Samsara’s 30+ AI detections ensure extensive risk visibility—across driving behaviors (such as drowsiness, mobile usage, and tailgating), risks around the vehicle (such as blind spots and pedestrians), and contextual risks (such as road conditions, weather, and traffic). This stands apart from other safety solutions, which only flag isolated risky events and miss environmental hazards or patterns.

• World-class coaching, training, and recognition—without extra resources: Samsara’s AI and automation make it possible to run a world-class safety program at scale. AI reviews and prioritizes events based on severity, frequency, trip conditions, and driver history—and automatically sends most feedback directly to drivers. Managers can focus on coaching highest-risk drivers and recognizing top performers, with AI-powered insights to help them be world-class coaches. This offers a distinct advantage over other safety solutions that rely on manual event reviews and time-consuming coaching and training workflows that aren’t scalable and can lead to misses.

• An experience that keeps drivers engaged: Safety is built into the Samsara Driver App, alongside other work drivers do each day like navigation and compliance. Coaching is part of a driver’s daily routine; it’s self-paced and the driver stays in control. Our top-rated Driver App keeps drivers engaged with balanced feedback via a combination of coaching and positive recognition—creating sticky habits and behavior change at scale. Our in-cab AI alerts are designed to minimize false positives and alert only on imminent, severe risks to maintain driver trust in the technology. This stands apart from other safety solutions, which spread workflows across multiple apps, provide one-sided feedback with no positive recognition, overwhelm drivers with too many alerts in cab, and make coaching feel tedious or punitive.

• Safety outside of the cab: With one-click SOS, proactive worker check-ins, and real-time incident response, we protect your teams wherever they work. No other provider offers this in a single platform.

• Full lifecycle risk reduction: Samsara offers everything in one place that you need to dramatically reduce risk—including risk detections, real-time alerts, coaching and proactive training, rewards and recognition, driver qualifications, emergency response, and investigation and claims management. Other safety providers do not offer all of these components of risk reduction and management, or they’re done in disparate systems, making it clunky to implement and delaying response.

For example, Rasmussen Group used Samsara AI Dash Cams to decrease mobile usage while driving by 90%, speeding and running stop signs by 70%, and backup incidents by 25%.
