Azuga, a Bridgestone company and a leader in fleet management, video telematics and safety solutions, published its new whitepaper, The Case for Dashcam-based Commercial Auto Insurance. Drawing on data from thousands of fleets and deep experience with insurers, the paper examines how connected dashcams are helping insurers address rising claim costs, fraud, and growing pressure around liability and litigation and why more carriers are turning to video to gain clarity and control in today’s challenging market.
The commercial auto industry continues to face significant volatility: claim severity trends remain elevated, nuclear verdicts are reshaping settlement strategies, and staged accidents are increasingly targeting commercial vehicles. The whitepaper outlines how dashcam programs, when supported by video insights and driver-safety tools, can offer insurance carriers a clearer, more accurate view of fleet risk, helping improve both operational efficiency and underwriting outcomes.
“Better visibility leads to better decisions. With clear, reliable video, insurers and fleets gain the confidence they need to manage risk more effectively.” – Tom Erdman, Executive Vice President, Azuga
Industry Expertise Supporting the Findings
The whitepaper also features insights from Matteo Carbone, a globally recognized insurance thought leader and Founder of the IoT Insurance Observatory, who contributed expert commentary to the report. Carbone’s perspective reinforces the growing industry consensus around the value of connected video.
“There is a significant consensus in the insurance sector about the positive and robust ROI of fully subsidized dashcam-based safety programs for heavy vehicles. Note: the IoT Insurance Observatory research has shown that an insurer’s safety program can achieve a positive ROI across any commercial auto insurance portfolio if the carrier adequately leverages insights from these connected cameras in its processes.” -Matteo Carbone, Founder, IoT Insurance Observatory Carbone’s insights underscore the momentum behind video telematics and highlight its increasing role in modern commercial auto insurance strategy.
