Ford is giving its commercial fleet business an AI makeover

Ford announced Ford Pro AI, a generative AI system (software that creates text and insights) that analyzes data from commercial vehicles like speed and engine health to help fleet managers make decisions. The system works as a chatbot (a conversational AI interface) within Ford's telematics software (the system that collects and monitors vehicle data) where managers can ask questions about their fleets or get recommendations to reduce fuel costs.
