Fleet operators considering AI should start with one defined problem, agree a baseline and measure what changes afterwards, says Geotab executive Abhinav Vasu. He also advises asking suppliers to explain their recommendations and to be clear about where operational data is stored and who can access it.
Why it mattersVasu’s point is practical: a confident prediction built on poor or mismatched data can still be wrong, while collecting driver information without a clear purpose can damage trust. His advice appears in a sponsored Fleet News opinion piece, alongside examples of fleet savings that are claims made in that piece, not independently established results. That makes the useful test less “does it use AI?” and more “did it reduce breakdowns, collisions or unplanned repairs, and can the operator show how?”
Discuss: When a fleet adopts AI, should proof of measurable results come before expanding driver monitoring, or can the monitoring itself be necessary to demonstrate those results?
