Is AI our greatest ally on the safe highways of the future?

April 2026 was designated as world National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, a reminder that distracted driving remains a deadly problem. Based on the latest data from the European Commission, distraction is estimated to play a role in one in four of all road accidents in Europe so, as vehicle technology evolves, a key question is emerging: Can AI help prevent distracted driving before it even  leads to a collision?

Intertraffic spoke with Dr. Stefan Heck, CEO of Nauto, a provider of AI-powered safety and operations solutions for commercial fleets, and Daniele Baldino, CEO of Auto Fleet Control, an advocate of the Nauto system, to discuss how AI-powered driver safety systems are helping fleets detect distraction in real time, teach and coach drivers ‘in the moment’, and even prevent crashes before they happen.

Driver distraction: a graduated intervention

Safe, but not yet resilient. This is how experts currently view the state of the EU’s transport systems: lagging behind in two key areas - climate readiness and preventive maintenance, particularly prescient in an era of transport complexity, where the need for safer and more resilient transport systems is increasingly relevant in Europe and beyond.

Road traffic technology, when operating successfully, is something of an ‘invisible conductor’. When it works, no-one really notices it… and yet the geopolitical flashpoint in the Middle East is increasingly dictating how smoothly those systems can function. The ongoing conflict is not just an energy crisis story, it is rapidly becoming a technology supply chain crisis story with profound impacts and implications for the road traffic sector.

How the middle east conflict could reshape traffic technology

The traffic and transport technology sector is under pressure to meet environmental targets. How, then, are those targets going to be met? One solution that is perhaps doing as much as any to “green” the industry is the use of renewable energy in the construction and maintenance of highways and motorways – edging away, slowly but surely, from a reliance on diesel-powered generators and transitioning to solar- and alternative-energy-powered lighting and electricity. This is nothing short of a strategic reinvention.

British hydrogen innovator GeoPura recently announced that they had been named as the supplier of the largest volume of green hydrogen ever produced for a particularly notable British construction project.
