Palo Alto, CA — Nauto, whose driver and fleet safety platform is making driving safer and fleets smarter, will work with leading passenger fleet insurance company Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AFH ) to deploy Nauto’s dual-facing cameras, telematics and data platform across multiple fleets of its taxi, livery and paratransit customers.
Under the agreement, Atlas will work with key fleet customers to install Nauto’s proprietary devices — windshield mounted internal and external facing cameras packed with AI sensors and telematics — in customers’ taxi, limousine and paratransit fleets located throughout the United States. The partnership gives Atlas’s public fleet customers and their drivers the benefit of Nauto features, which, in addition to traditional telematics, includes Nauto’s proprietary driver distraction feature — the automotive industry’s first aftermarket platform that uses video and artificial intelligence to detect and score distracted driving behavior and improve risk assessment. With Nauto, Atlas will gain a greater ability to price and insure commercial fleet risk. In addition, Atlas and its customers will have access to Nauto’s fleet data insights, which could dramatically improve determination of who was at fault in a collision, and streamline claims handling.
“We know professional drivers are often accused of wrongful liability -- they are innocent in 90% of commercial crashes. Because Nauto can detect collisions and direct markers of risk, we provide powerful proof of innocence,” said Stefan Heck, CEO and Founder of Nauto. “We’re looking forward to working with Atlas’s many fleet customers to arm their existing vehicles with valuable safety, loss prevention and feedback features that can help improve driver performance. We’re also delighted to be working with Atlas to manage risk more effectively through quality based insurance products, and helping make fleet and insurance operations more efficient, and make roads safer for everyone.”
“We are excited to offer Nauto as a tremendous benefit to our fleet customers,” said Scott Wollney, President and CEO of Atlas Financial Holdings. “Nauto’s safety features and the insights its data platform delivers will enhance the safety and efficiency of our customers’ businesses and at the same time, will help reduce loss costs and improve our insurance operations through smarter risk prediction.”
Because Nauto learns from other drivers, the road and conditions around vehicles in the Nauto network, fleets that are equipped with Nauto have access to automatically uploaded video of significant events and insights delivered in real time to help fleet managers improve overall driver performance and enhance the safety of an entire fleet, and help insurers assess and settle claims accurately and efficiently.
