Webfleet and Peregrine.ai collaborate on Visual Intelligence solution to enhance driver and vehicle safety

Published on 16 Sept 2025

Webfleet, Bridgestone’s globally trusted fleet management solution, and Peregrine.ai, a Berlin-based startup transforming mobility through AI-powered vision systems, has announced the launch of a next-generation driver assistance solution.

Peregrine’s Visual Intelligence will complement and enhance the power of the Webfleet Video solution to set a new benchmark for fleet safety.

This paid service upgrade enables Webfleet Video to not only see the road but to understand driving context.

On top of the existing AI-enabled capabilities of Webfleet Video, it now detects hazards such as red light violations, adverse weather conditions, slippery roads and size or weight restrictions. Visual Intelligence also translates video footage into structured, clear insights, so fleet managers spend less time reviewing and interpreting footage and make faster, smarter decisions.

“This is a major step in our mission to make mobility safer and smarter,”

said Jan-Maarten de Vries, President, Fleet Management Solutions at Bridgestone.

“Together with Peregrine.ai, we’re delivering a next-generation driver safety solution that goes far beyond traditional dashcams – detecting and contextualizing road events and risks as they happen.”

While conventional video telematics typically records when an event is triggered, this solution continuously detects hazards, giving the driver real-time environmental awareness.

By transforming visual data into real-time in-cabin alerts and actionable fleet insights, the system helps drivers avoid accidents and enables fleets to improve safety, compliance, and operational performance. And, as it can be easily retrofitted into vehicles via an over-the-air update, all this can be achieved without investing in new vehicles.

“We’re proud to contribute our contextual AI technology to this collaboration,”

added Dr. Steffen Heinrich, CEO of Peregrine.ai.

“By making existing vehicles smarter with real-time insights, we’re helping fleets operate more safely and efficiently – at scale, and on the road today.”

This launch also reflects Bridgestone’s broader mission of serving society with superior quality. According to road safety economists, vehicle crashes cost up to 4.1% of European Global Domestic Product (GDP). With this new service, Webfleet aims to help fleets reduce risk, support ESG goals, strengthen driver retention and manage rising insurance and liability costs.

This new service is currently being rolled out with select customers.
