The Problem
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that some 35% of all truck-related accidents occur in a driver’s blind spot during everyday maneuvers like turning, merging, changing lanes or backing. The associated costs for property damage, medical claims, lost commerce, litigation and insurance are estimated at over one billion dollars annually, and the figure spirals upwards each year. No wonder fleet owners, drivers, safety advocacy groups, Congress and governments at all levels are seeking a viable solution.
