    “Lytx surpassed 100 billion miles of driving data analyzed in 2018,” said Brandon Nixon, Lytx Chairman and CEO. “Our driving database is unrivaled, but what matters most about the amount of data we have is the knowledge it provides to help our clients keep their drivers and cargo safe and their fleets more productive. In fact, our data shows that our clients experienced approximately 625,000 fewer instances of risky driving in 2018 compared to 2017.”

    Nixon continued, “Our growing record of human-reviewed data constantly enriches the robust artificial intelligence and machine vision algorithms that power Lytx’s products. Our data literally trains artificial intelligence algorithms to detect risk, and we have more of this data and do that better than anyone in the industry. The result has been our surge in growth over the past four years. Our record-breaking growth is evidence of our innovation leadership, our ability to attract large numbers of new clients, accelerate growth in new market segments, build a business of great scale, and bring video-based safety and productivity solutions to thousands of fleets.”
