Mentor by eDriving scores driving behavior and delivers tailored driver training straight to smartphones, tablets and computers. It's also the data backbone for a risk predictor called the FICO Safe Driving Score.
"We're really pleased with response from the insurance industry across the board and look forward to evolving our role in the space with existing and future partners and clients," said Celia Stokes, CEO of eDriving, who presented at the TU conference.

Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
