What Is Samsara AI?
Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is a Connected Operations platform using AI dashcams, GPS tracking, and predictive analytics to improve fleet safety, fuel efficiency, and regulatory compliance. The AI analyzes dashcam footage in real time to detect distracted driving, tailgating, and other risky behaviors — then coaches drivers to improve.
The results are dramatic: Samsara's safety report shows AI-enabled fleets reduce crash rates by nearly 75% over 30 months. In February 2026, Samsara launched Samsara Coach — an AI-driven safety coaching system.
With $1.458 billion ARR (+32%) and 2,506 customers with over $100,000 ARR, Samsara is the leader in fleet intelligence.
