Preventing blind spot collisions

A guide for fleet safety managers

What fleet safety managers need to know about preventing blind spot collisions—and how AI-powered 360° visibility eliminates the blind spots that cause costly incidents:

Forward-facing cameras reduced front-end collisions, but side and rear blind spots remain the leading cause of preventable fleet incidents:

✔ Driver turnover exceeds 90% annually, and blind spot stress is a contributing factor to burnout and retention challenges across the industry

✔ Side-swipe collisions, backing incidents, and pedestrian strikes account for a disproportionate share of fleet claims, and most involve blind zones that mirrors cannot cover

✔ Standard auxiliary cameras and mirrors are reactive tools that record footage after an incident; AI-powered side and rear cameras detect hazards in real time and alert drivers before a collision occurs

✔ Coach USA decreased preventable accidents by 92% since partnering with Samsara and installing 360° AI Multicams.

This guide shows fleet safety managers how to audit blind spot vulnerabilities, shift from reactive to proactive collision prevention, and equip drivers with AI-powered 360° visibility using Samsara's AI Multicam.
