AI Features



Advanced Driver Assistance System


The V8's forward-facing camera continuously analyzes the road ahead, detecting potential hazards and alerting the driver in real time before a dangerous situation becomes an accident.


What ADAS Detects: How It Helps Your Fleet:

What ADAS Detects: 

  • Forward collision warning: unsafe following distance to the vehicle ahead
  • Lane departure warning:  unintentional drifting out of lane
  • Headway monitoring: continuous tracking of distance to the vehicle ahead
  • Blind spot and lane change assistance:  monitors surrounding vehicle activity
  • Pedestrian and obstacle detection in the vehicle's path

How It Helps Your Fleet:

  • Reduces rear-end and lane departure collisions
  • Real-time in-cabin audio and visual alerts correct driver behavior immediately
  • All ADAS events are recorded and logged for post-trip fleet review
  • Supports driver coaching programs with documented event data
  • Contributes to lower insurance premiums through proven safety compliance


Driver Monitoring System

Know What Your Driver Is Doing Behind the Wheel 

The V8's in-cabin AI camera monitors the driver's face and behavior continuously, detecting dangerous states the moment they appear and triggering an immediate alert to correct behavior before an incident occurs.

What DMS Detects:How It Helps Your Fleet:

What DMS Detects:

  • Drowsiness and fatigue: eye closure and heavy blinking patterns
  • Distraction: eyes off the road for unsafe periods
  • Yawning: early fatigue warning indicator
  • Phone use: driver handling or looking at a mobile device
  • Smoking: detected via facial and hand position
  • Seat belt non-compliance

How It Helps Your Fleet:

  • Prevents fatigue-related accidents, a leading cause of serious road incidents
  • Generates driver behavior scores for performance reviews and coaching
  • Provides documented evidence of driver state for accident investigation
  • Discourages dangerous habits through consistent, real-time monitoring
  • Gives fleet managers visibility into behavior that would otherwise go unnoticed

Face Recognition


Verify Who Is Behind the Wheel

The V8's Face Recognition feature verifies the identity of the driver at the start of every trip, ensuring only authorized personnel operate your vehicles and allowing behavior data to be accurately attributed to individual drivers.


How It Helps Your Fleet:

Links all trip data, events, and behavior scores to specific named drivers

Prevents unauthorized vehicle use

Adds a layer of vehicle security beyond physical keys

Supports driver accountability programs

HA/HB/HC — Harsh Event Detection


Capture Every Sudden Acceleration, Braking, and Cornering Event

The V8 automatically detects and records harsh acceleration, harsh braking, and harsh cornering events, giving fleet managers a complete picture of driving style and helping identify drivers who need coaching before an accident occurs.


How It Helps Your Fleet:


Reduces vehicle wear and maintenance costs caused by aggressive driving


Identifies high-risk drivers for targeted safety training
