LAS VEGAS — Trucking sensors are becoming an increasingly pivotal area of focus as an enabler of automotive technology, with that growing importance demonstrated at CES 2024.

The use of cameras on heavy-duty #trucks has gone mainstream as more and more fleets have adopted forward- and inward-facing cameras to coach drivers and reduce liability. Now the latest smart camera #technology is taking things a step further, helping carriers capture more angles, gain new insights and derive more operational value from video.   

Many fleets have adopted forward- and inward-facing cameras to coach drivers and reduce liability. Now the latest smart camera technology is taking things a step further.

Video-based safety systems are helping fleets prevent crashes and exonerate drivers, but successful deployment of this technology continues to hinge on driver acceptance.

Passenger railroads will be required to install video recorders inside locomotives, but the rule excludes freight trains like the one that derailed and caught fire in East Palestine, Ohio.

High-tech countermeasures against Connecticut’s burgeoning 550% jump in wrong-way crashes will result from a law Gov. Ned Lamont enacted to install new alert systems.
