Date: 16 April 2021   |  Author: Sean Keywood A new AI-powered driver behaviour safety app has been launched by Applied Driving Techniques. The Applied Companion app, developed in partnership with Sfara, is designed to detect and log at-risk driving events, and then aim to correct the driver's behaviour with targeted safety messages, performance reports, and training. A 15-month trial of the app is said to have delivered a 68% reduction in speeding, a 70% reduction in hard braking, and a 90% reduction in rapid acceleration. The app uses smartphone sensor inputs alongside learning AI to detect risky driving, and can even distinguish between being a driver or passenger.
