Driver training provider eDriving has released Mentor by eDriving, a telematics app that scores fleet driving behavior and delivers customized training straight to smartphones, tablets and computers, the company said.
Mentor assesses and scores a fleet driver’s behavior and uses a predictive analytics platform to generate a FICO Safe Driving Score. The score is calculated after each trip and over time, providing both immediate feedback as well as longer-term trending and benchmarking analysis.

Mentor also prescribes a “playlist” of interactive training interventions and provides tips, reminders and progress reports tailored for each driver. Licensed instructors from eDriving’s Behind the Wheel Training Division can provide additional feedback, advice and support through virtual live coaching, according to the company.
“Mentor shifts the smartphone from distracted driving culprit to cure,” said Celia Stokes, CEO of eDriving. “Personal relevance, engaging content, and competition bordering on what we like to call ‘shamification’ are a powerful combination. It is thrilling to watch the effect of these elements truly changing how people are driving.”
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
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.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
