Our take
Nauto is an AI tech company helping commercial drivers tackle road safety through cutting edge real-time tracking and analysis. Its platform is used by hundreds of brands, and claims to have saved them collectively millions of dollars in collision expenses.
Though other companies like Netradyne and Affectiva offer similar products, Nauto's hefty footprint and penetration in sectors like heavy-duty trucking have helped it to remain a key contender as the space evolves. It has also been clever in working with autonomous system developers as driverless cars begin to enter commercial fleets, ensuring it is prepared for this potentially huge future market.
