Ford’s new AI assistant will help fleet owners know if seatbelts are being used

Ford launched Ford Pro AI, an AI assistant for commercial fleet customers that analyzes data to provide insights on seatbelt use, fuel consumption, vehicle health, and driver behavior like speeding and idle times. Built on Google Cloud using AI agents (software programs that can make decisions and take actions), the system is designed to reduce AI hallucinations (when an AI generates false or nonsensical information) by using each customer's internal fleet data. Ford is also developing a separate AI assistant for individual car owners launching in 2027.
