The use of artificial intelligence to monitor driver behavior and prevent accidents is expanding in Brazil. Initially, fleet operators began adopting intelligent dashcams equipped with edge-computing to detect real-time issues such as fatigue, distraction, or mobile phone use. This technology aims to address the high rate of human error, which the Federal Highway Police noted accounted for 42% of incidents on federal highways in 2024.

This technological trend has moved into public highway enforcement, particularly in São Paulo. Concessionaires such as Cart and Ecovias Raposo Castello are deploying AI-powered high-definition cameras on major routes like the Raposo Tavares and Castello Branco highways. These systems operate 24 hours a day to identify infractions including seatbelt violations and cellphone use, with images being integrated with the Military Highway Police for validation and fining.
