ADAS-based electronics systems that aid the driver and enhance safety were the starting point of a technology-led evolution that has brought us on the ramp towards full automation (Levels 1-5).

For a technically complex end-to-end video telematics platform like RideView, stripping off as much of the complexity for end-users as possible, while still retaining the core essence of the underlying technologies should be a north star.

Standalone dash cams with inbuilt connectivity (LTE), compute for advanced AI on the edge (ADAS and DMS), and storage for video loop recording are rapidly becoming the norm in the commercial fleet space.

Telematics has been traditionally used to track the location of any vehicle, and other data from the vehicle bus (CAN, J1939, etc.).

The overarching vision of LightMetrics has been to make the benefits of AI-driven driver safety systems more widespread, starting from real-time driver coaching, all the way to event videos and advanced driver and fleet safety analytics available on the cloud for review by fleet managers.

An old Zen parable goes: after studying to be a Zen teacher for many years, a student goes to visit his master.

Long distance runners might notice the title being inspired by the author Haruki Murakami’s book about his experiences and thoughts on long-distance running.

The adoption of video based safety systems among commercial fleets, while slow at first, has accelerated in the recent past .
