Motive, the AI-driven platform for physical operations, introduced AI Dashcam Plus, a groundbreaking dash cam that combines advanced AI, hands-free communication, and enhanced reliability into a single device. By leveraging edge AI, the dash cam can detect risks faster and prevent collisions more effectively. Powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6490 processor, AI Dashcam Plus delivers three times the AI processing power of other leading dash cams. It can simultaneously run over 30 high-precision AI models, enabling broader detection while minimizing false alerts. Notably, it becomes the first AI dash cam with dual forward-facing stereo vision, improving visibility and integrating live two-way calling and other AI features into a unified, reliable hardware design that reduces installation time.

Road safety continues to be a pressing global issue. In 2024, the United States reported nearly 40,000 roadway fatalities, while costs associated with collisions surged into the hundreds of billions. Existing reactive safety systems, which often suffer from limited visibility, delayed alerts, and unreliable technology, frequently fail organizations at critical moments.

“Collision rates and related costs remain unacceptably high around the world,” said Shoaib Makani, co-founder and CEO of Motive. “Organizations need AI-powered driver safety solutions that can perceive and respond in real-time. We’ve added three times more compute, created the first AI dash cam with stereo vision, and added hands-free communication, all in one system, so organizations can detect more risks and act faster. This isn’t just a new product; it reflects a shift toward proactive, AI-driven road safety.”

Brad from Fox Valley Technical College shared his experience: “The Motive AI Dashcam Plus gives us everything we need in one device. The camera quality is impressive, the AI alerts are faster, and the software is easy to use. Installation was simple, performance has been reliable, and having it all in one dashcam means less downtime and a stronger safety program overall.”

Enhanced AI for Risk Detection and Collision Prevention

Equipped with the Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6490 processor, AI Dashcam Plus runs more than 30 AI models simultaneously, expanding detection capabilities and reducing latency. Its stereo vision technology replicates human-like depth perception, allowing more accurate Forward Collision Warnings, Lane Swerving, and Close Following alerts. Additionally, the 1440p zoom lens supports Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR), capturing clear license plates even in motion or adverse weather, helping investigate incidents efficiently.

Advanced Sensor Fusion combines video, audio, telematics, GPS, and dual motion sensors, detecting subtle events like glass breakage or minor collisions that other dash cams often miss. “Motive’s AI Dashcam Plus shows how on‑device AI can transform road safety at scale,” stated Erick Hong, Head of Smart Home & Life, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Hands-Free Communication and AI Assistance

AI Dashcam Plus offers live two-way calling, voice-activated controls, and AI automation for timely alerts. Drivers can report issues, request directions, or save critical footage hands-free, while managers monitor fleets via the Motive Dashboard or Fleet App.

Enterprise-Grade Reliability

By combining the AI Dashcam and Vehicle Gateway into a single device, Motive reduces installation time by nearly 50%, ensures reliable video uploads, and uses an Android-based platform to accelerate updates and optimize AI workloads. Dual-SIM, multi-carrier connectivity ensures uninterrupted tracking even in rural areas.

“Improving driver and vehicle safety is among the top three priorities for truckload carriers globally when adopting new technologies,” said Beatriz Minamy, principal analyst at S&P Global Market Intelligence. “AI-powered solutions that enable real-time coaching, automated in-cab alerts for unsafe behaviors, and proactive risk detection are becoming central to how fleets strengthen safety and accountability.”

Since 2023, Motive’s AI Dashcam has helped prevent over 170,000 accidents and saved 1,500 lives. According to a Virginia Tech Transportation Institute study, it alerts drivers to unsafe behaviors two to four times more often than competitor models, reducing collisions by 80% and accident-related costs by 63%.
