Geotab has launched its new AI dash cam and its new video intelligence platform, GO Focus Plus.
The new dual-facing dash cam provides in-cab voice support to help drivers correct risky habits. Results from a recent pilot showed that in-cab voice coaching helped reduce tailgating by 90% and cell phone use by 95%.
Key features of the new GO Focus Plus AI dash cam include:
Proactive Driver Coaching: The AI dash cam provides instant, in-cab voice prompts to drivers when risky behaviors like distracted driving (e.g., phone use, fatigue) or tailgating are detected, helping them correct their habits.
Targeted Fleet Management: AI-driven video intelligence surfaces the most urgent risks and repeat patterns for quick review, eliminating the need for fleet managers to sort through extensive footage. Each alert includes video and contextual data, enabling targeted and effective coaching.
Seamless Workflow and Safety Culture: The MyGeotab platform allows for a seamless workflow, including the assignment, tracking, and recognition of progress, reinforcing a strong culture of safety within the fleet.
In a recent Geotab survey, drivers said they believe there is an increase in driving accidents, with 34% saying they have seriously considered leaving the profession in the year prior.

The new AI video intelligence platform uses advanced AI models to adapt to and refine its capabilities with every instance of detection and coaching.
"We believe the safest fleet is a well-supported fleet," said Charlie Elliott, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Marketplace at Geotab. "Our new video intelligence platform and the GO Focus Plus AI dash cam are a direct investment in supporting the driver and their safety. By uniting the power of video with Geotab data intelligence, we are providing drivers with an in-cab partner that helps them correct risks instantly. This system empowers fleet managers to move beyond reactive incident review and instead foster a culture of safety that protects their most valuable asset, which is their people.”
