Cameras are coming to trailers
What you see–both behind your trailer and inside of it–might surprise you.
Cameras, once taboo in the trucking industry, are now almost ubiquitous inside the cabs of new trucks. At very least, the latest and greatest advanced driver assistance systems employ cameras for things like lane departure alerts and lane keep assist, to name a few technologies. Many fleets are putting outward-facing cameras in cabs to provide more context to safety related incidents in the battle against aggressive litigation. And let's not forget that we all carry a camera in our pocket pretty much every minute of the day. So, it shouldn't come as a surprise that trailer cameras--both cameras that give you a view of what's behind the trailer and cameras that show you what's inside the trailer--are a growing trend and were on full display at this year's ATA's MCE.
