AI features include video-based driver safety detection (drowsiness, distraction, seatbelt), predictive vehicle maintenance, route optimisation AI, and industrial IoT asset tracking. Went public in 2021 (IOTX).
How Samsara AI works
Samsara AI runs as computer vision and ml software built around image and data workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export.
