The reason for their critical importance is chillingly clear:

Tired or distracted commercial vehicle drivers create the perfect storm for deadly incidents.
Fleets are turning to AI-powered driver cameras to identify risky behaviors, act as “co-pilots,” and mitigate disasters, but mass adoption is a work in progress.

Does it seem as if some trends are omnipresent on everyone’s annual “Anticipated Trends” lists?
Don’t worry, it's not just you. Innovation doesn’t just instantaneously burst onto the scene out of the blue.
There are levels to this–specifically, there are stages of development before concepts turn into actual working products fit for public consumption.
On that note, these are three (not all unfamiliar) tech trends we’re looking forward to in 2023.

Simply put, visibility is kind of our thing here at RVS and it’s critical to road safety.
So when it comes to buying a new/used vehicle, we sincerely hope that it factors into your decision-making.
Though most, if not all of these vehicles are now equipped with some sort of visual video aid for parking or reversing (like backup cameras or sensors), their designs hinder visibility when it comes to seeing blind spots and operating safely on the road.
These are the 5 worst cars when it comes to visibility:

It’s been a perfect storm if you’re a car thief: supply chain issues stemming from 2020’s lockdowns combined with inflation have increased car values AND theft rates in the last two years.
Reported thefts were up by 6% in 2021 from the previous year, and up 17% from 2019!
Whether for resale in the international black market, for their catalytic converters, or for their spare-part resale values, it seems some makes and models have perennial targets on their backs.
These 10 were the most stolen in 2021, according to the NICB:

‘Tis that time of year again, when an extra cup of eggnog can mean the difference between life and death in a wintry storm.
Though this is a bit overly dramatic, we do take winter (and drunk) driving seriously here at RVS.
While we offer both heated systems AND driver fatigue detection systems (including an AI facial recognition dash cam in the works!) that address both of those issues, we also recommend taking preventative steps if you have to hit the road.
Going that extra mile is crucial if you live in one of these 10 states* where driving fatalities are especially high in the winter:...

It’s not just a phase anymore!
Electrification is happening, along with legislation and battery production to support the necessary infrastructure.
As big automakers like Chevy and Ford pivot their passenger vehicles to compete with the likes of Tesla, commercial vehicles have been a little slower to the punch–though some are starting to see the benefits of electrifying their fleets:
Improved Efficiency
