Machine vision (MV) and artificial intelligence (AI) help drivers and fleet managers correct distracted driving as it occurs. Data is collected when your dashcam is online and the vehicle is in motion. The data are analyzed to detect distracted driving events. The driver receives visual and audio alerts when an event is identified. If the driver continues their behavior, the event is uploaded to the cloud. Two MV+AI events cannot be created at once.
Our MV+AI technology uses lens as a sensor. Even if video recordings are turned off, distracted driving events can still be detected and alerts can be sent to the driver. If video recordings are turned on, they get deleted when the SD card becomes full. For more information on that, see About the dashcam SD card.
When offering or using MV+AI in-cab distraction detection features, please be aware of the surge in litigation relating to same under privacy laws, including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”), 740 ILCS 14/1 et seq. More information, including the applicable retention policy for in-cab MV+AI alert data, can be found in this link: https://www.lytx.com/legal/industry-update-and-data-policy.
To protect against this litigation risk, you and your customers are encouraged to implement a BIPA compliant, publicly available data retention and destruction policy and obtain driver consent in connection with using in-cab MV+AI. For a sample consent form, see Example Policy and Consent Form – In-Cab MV+AI Features.
