The debates about inward-facing cameras in trucks are significant, but what’s not up for debate is the fact that this camera technology has evolved significantly recently.
Take one announcement from this summer, which was the launch of the AI DashCam from KeepTruckin. The technology provider partnered with Ambarella on the image processing capabilities of the camera to provide a device with ADAS and driver monitoring capabilities.

Wanting to know more, I sat down with members of KeepTruckin and Ambarella to get the details. Joining me on this episode of Fleet Future are Abhishek Gupta, director of product management at KeepTruckin; and Senya Pertsel, senior director of marketing at Ambarella.

Another week, another trade show recap! The gang's all here once again as Editor Jason Morgan and Senior Editor David Sickels join the podcast to talk about last month's TMC Fall Meeting, which took place in Cleveland and was host to a bevy of OEM and supplier news. We talk about the news of the show, which heavily featured tires and smart trailers, as well as the challenges facing today's fleets, many of which were discussed at the show and heavily feature supply chain issues.

It's time for part two! For those who missed it, the last episode of Fleet Future featured Editor Jason Morgan, Senior Editor David Sickels and yours truly, Managing Editor Alex Crissey, recapping September's zero-emissions focused ACT Expo. Jason attended the show, but David and I did not, so we peppered him with questions for enough time that the conversation had to be broken into two parts.

Part 1 of 2 in which FE's Jason Morgan, Alex Crissey and David Sickels recap the ACT Expo.

In this episode of Fleet Future, FE Managing Editor Alex Crissey and Senior Editor David Sickels sit down in the podcast studio to talk about the rise of electrification in 2021.

Continental announced in July that it has been testing tires specifically built for electric trucks in Germany. When I saw this news I instantly wanted to know more – to start with, why do electric trucks need specialized tires? For that answer and several others, I spoke with Hinnerk Kaiser, head of tire development for truck and bus tires at Continental.
