Samsara
AI-powered fleet management platform with dual-facing dash cams, GPS tracking, and real-time safety alerts
About Samsara
Samsara is an integrated fleet management platform that combines AI-powered dual-facing dash cams, GPS vehicle tracking, driver safety monitoring, and compliance tools into a single connected operations cloud. The CM34 AI Dash Cam captures 2K road-facing video and driver-facing footage, automatically uploading and analyzing driving events using edge AI. The platform detects distracted driving, phone use, drowsiness, tailgating, and other risky behaviors, delivering instant in-cab audio coaching alerts. Beyond dash cams, Samsara offers a complete fleet operations suite including route optimization, fuel management, vehicle diagnostics, ELD compliance, DVIR workflows, and equipment monitoring — making it the most comprehensive single-vendor solution for fleets that want to manage safety, compliance, and operations from one dashboard.
