New Nauto White Paper: Measure & Reduce Risk in Fleets
According to a study by NHTSA, more than 94% of collisions are attributable to driver error, and of those incidents, a majority stem from risk factors that include distracted driving, speeding, tailgating, and improper turns.
Many of today’s telematics-based systems do not provide the full measure of risk, which means fleets and their insurance carriers are relying on lagging metrics and after-event reviews.
Nauto explores this topic in the new white paper that was released today entitled “Measure & Reduce Risk in Fleets” which provides a deep understanding of how commercial fleets can effectively measure and reduce their driving risk to reduce vehicle collisions and collision-related financial loss by hundreds of millions of dollars in just months.

Car Colors: The Trends and Myths Behind Them
By Grant Feek, CEO, Tred
