Stellantis and Nauto Transform Safety for Commercial Fleets

In an exciting development for commercial fleet owners and the broader automotive sector, Stellantis, one of the world’s leading automakers and mobility providers, has teamed up with Nauto®, a prominent player in AI-based vehicle safety technology. The result? A groundbreaking partnership that is set to revolutionize vehicle safety and enhance road safety for everyone. This dynamic duo recently announced the availability of Nauto’s AI-powered vehicle safety solution for Stellantis commercial fleet customers in the United States.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the ongoing Stellantis-Nauto partnership, which began with Stellantis Ventures’ investment in Nauto, a venture announced in June 2023. With the introduction of Nauto’s cutting-edge safety technology, Stellantis aims to empower fleet owners with a best-in-class vehicle safety solution. This solution will provide real-time alerts designed to prevent collisions, promote safer driving behaviors, and ultimately reduce collision losses.

Nauto is a leader in AI-powered safety and operations excellence for commercial fleets. Their solutions combine predictive AI technology, data science, and insights from over 3 billion AI-processed driving miles to predict and prevent collisions before they occur. Trusted by nearly 800 fleets worldwide, Nauto has the potential to reduce up to 80 percent of collisions with its predictive driver alerts.

The safety of drivers within Stellantis’ commercial fleet customer base is a top priority for the company. This new partnership with Nauto represents an exciting endeavor as it allows Stellantis to offer next-generation, AI-based advanced driving assistance technology in their commercial vehicles. As Jeff Kommor, U.S. Head of Sales at Stellantis, points out, “Through our Stellantis Ventures arm, investment into startup companies like Nauto helps support Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 efforts in leading the charge to sustainable and safe mobility, as well as a better in-vehicle experience overall.” This partnership is a testament to Stellantis’ commitment to innovation and enhancing the driving experience for its customers.

Dr. Stefan Heck, CEO of Nauto, also expressed his excitement about working with Stellantis, noting that this partnership is an essential step toward achieving the mission of zero fatalities on the road. The collaboration streamlines access to proven safety technology and underscores the commitment to enhancing road safety for all. With sobering statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revealing that motor vehicle traffic fatalities have reached their highest levels since 2005, the importance of this partnership cannot be overstated. Stellantis and Nauto are dedicated to reducing the risks and making the roads safer for everyone.

The Nauto solution is designed to prevent collisions, promote safe driving behaviors, and reduce risks and claims. It achieves this through advanced AI technology that tracks and analyzes risks in real-time, rather than after the fact. The system provides preventative warnings, giving drivers crucial extra time to respond to potential dangers. These warnings are based on a vast amount of data derived from over 3 billion AI-processed miles, making them highly accurate and reliable.

One of the key features of Nauto’s solution is its ability to understand the impact of multiple risks. For example, if the system detects the risk of striking a pedestrian and the driver is distracted, it will sound a real-time alert earlier, providing the driver with more time to react. Additionally, the Nauto solution respects driver privacy and does not require recorded video to be effective, addressing concerns about data privacy.

Installing the Nauto device is a breeze and can be done in less than 30 minutes. Customers also have the option to engage pre-approved professional installers for added convenience. In the event of an accident, Nauto offers rapid collision reporting, enabling customers to notify claims operations in as little as 15 minutes. This expedites the claims process and minimizes downtime.

Nauto helps drivers develop safer driving habits automatically, and customers can see up to an impressive 80 percent reduction in distracted driving within just two weeks. The combination of improved driver performance and predictive warnings in the cab can help fleets reduce collisions by up to 80 percent. Nauto customers across various industry verticals have reported a payback in as little as 4.5 months, making it a sound investment for fleets.

The partnership between Stellantis and Nauto represents a significant step forward in enhancing vehicle safety and reducing road accidents for commercial fleets. By offering an innovative, AI-powered safety solution, Stellantis is committed to safeguarding drivers and promoting safer driving behaviors. With road safety concerns on the rise, this collaboration comes at a crucial time, and the benefits of Nauto’s solution make it a compelling choice for fleet owners looking to prioritize safety, reduce risks, and protect everyone on the road. As Stellantis continues to lead the way in sustainable and safe mobility, this partnership exemplifies their commitment to a safer and more secure driving experience.
