Netradyne's Driver•i D-810 Wins HDT 2026 Top 20 Product Award

Recognition That Reflects Real Fleet Value

The HDT Top 20 isn't just an editorial pick. Heavy Duty Trucking's editors develop a finalist list, then a panel of fleet managers scores each product across three critical areas:

• Innovation – Does it advance what's possible?

• Ability to address industry issues – Does it solve real problems fleets face?

• Potential to help fleets' bottom lines – Does it deliver measurable financial value?

"Innovation matters, but fleets need solutions they can actually put to work," said HDT Editor and Associate Publisher Deborah Lockridge. "Having fleet managers involved in the Top 20 Products awards helps us spotlight products that tackle real challenges and deliver practical value as the industry continues to evolve."

The D-810 earned recognition across all three criteria because it transforms how fleets prevent incidents, protect drivers, and control costs.

The D-810: Built to Deliver 360 AI

The Driver•i D-810 is the first platform built to deliver Netradyne 360 AI. It extends Netradyne's proven edge intelligence across up to eight cameras for true 360° visibility around the cab, sides, rear, and trailer. By analyzing 100% of drive time on device, the D-810 detects critical risk in real time and delivers instant in-cab alerts—all while processing data locally to reduce bandwidth costs and protect fleet data. With support for an optional in-vehicle display, DMS Sensor, and flexible camera configurations, the D-810 is a modular platform that scales with your fleet's needs.

Why 360 AI Matters

Blind spots aren't just inconvenient—they're dangerous and expensive. The NHTSA reports that lane changes and merges account for over 500,000 crashes every year in the U.S. Traditional camera systems only capture the view ahead, leaving massive gaps in visibility alongside the cab, trailer, and rear.

360 AI changes everything by delivering complete visibility that helps drivers prevent incidents before they happen.

For drivers: Real-time alerts and live blind-spot views from an optional in-vehicle display help drivers navigate lane changes, turns, and reversing safely. Positive recognition through GreenZone® Score rewards safe driving, creating a culture where drivers feel supported, not surveilled.

For managers: Complete 360° coverage means comprehensive video with full context for every mile driven. Crystal-clear footage from multiple angles provides defensible evidence for claims and coaching, while analyzing 100% of drive time delivers actionable insights that event-based systems miss entirely.

For finance leaders: Complete 360° visibility provides defensible video evidence that helps fleets avoid costly settlements and nuclear verdicts, reducing insurance premiums and total cost of risk.

For technology teams: Advanced edge processing delivers instant AI analysis without relying on cloud connectivity, reducing bandwidth costs while keeping critical alerts operational. Open APIs integrate seamlessly with existing fleet systems.

Video LiveSearch: Find What You Need in Seconds

The D-810 also enables Video LiveSearch—an industry-first capability that turns every mile of 360° footage into a searchable record. Safety and claims teams can find specific footage using simple, natural language prompts like "red car," "construction cones," or "delivery truck." What used to take hours of manual review now takes seconds. Whether you're investigating an incident, coaching a driver, or defending a claim, Video LiveSearch delivers the exact footage you need when you need it most.

From Reactive to Proactive

The D-810 builds on Netradyne's proven foundation—technologies that have analyzed over 25 billion miles and earned ~99% alert accuracy*. Now we're extending those capabilities 360 degrees around the vehicle to give fleets the complete visibility and proactive intelligence that modern operations demand.

Instead of simply recording incidents, 360 AI helps drivers prevent them. Instead of reacting to collisions, fleets can proactively coach safer behavior. Instead of fighting claims with limited context, managers have defensible evidence from every angle.

The result: fewer collisions, lower costs, stronger protection, and better performance across the fleet.

"We're honored to receive this recognition from Heavy Duty Trucking and the fleet managers who helped select the winners," said Pramod Akkarachittor, Chief Product Officer at Netradyne. "The D-810 solves the challenges fleets told us they face—blind spots, fragmented data, and reactive systems that don't prevent incidents. This award reflects our commitment to delivering solutions that protect drivers, reduce risk, and help fleets operate more safely and efficiently."
