Seeing Machines 2025 Guardian Insights Report
Seeing Machines Limited has released its 2024-25 Guardian Insights Report, revealing over 3 million risky driving events across 3.7 billion kilometres travelled by approximately 60,000 vehicles globally. The report highlights persistent fatigue risks, particularly between 3:00 am and 5:00 am, and a notable decline in mobile phone distraction across most regions, though other distraction behaviours remain stable or are increasing. This data, collected between October 2024 and September 2025, offers fleets insights to implement targeted safety strategies during identified high-risk periods. Disclaimer*

The data reveals several enduring problematic behavioural patterns across all regions, such as elevated fatigue risk in the early morning and on weekends.\n \nDistraction tends to be higher during daytime hours, with several regions showing peak levels in the morning - often around 8.00am. Notably, cell-phone use as a source of distraction is declining in every region except the UK - an encouraging sign that efforts to curb this high-risk behaviour are working. However, other forms of distraction remain stable or are increasing, reinforcing the need for ongoing action to address emerging distraction behaviours globally.\n \nThese driver states and behaviours exhibit a high degree of year-on-year predictability, offering fleets clear opportunities to design and deploy targeted strategies to mitigate fatigue and distraction among their workforce during known high-risk periods.\n \nThe information provided in the Guardian Insights Report can also assist policymakers and safety advocates better understand and ultimately reduce driver impairment risks, aligning with Seeing Machines' mission of achieving zero transport-related fatalities and injuries.\n \n\"Progress requires collaboration acr...
