Summary
AI agents are not just coming for laptops, inboxes, and office workflows. Samsara Cofounder and CTO John Bicket says they’re also coming for fleets, drivers, dispatchers, safety teams, and the physical infrastructure that keeps the world moving. Recorded on-site at Samsara Beyond 2026 in Las Vegas, this conversation explores how Samsara is layering AI onto dash cams, telematics devices, asset trackers, vehicle data, and operational workflows. John explains how Agent Studio helps companies build useful AI tools without overwhelming frontline teams, why physical operations create different challenges than software-only environments, and how AI can help turn raw vehicle and safety data into coaching, risk reduction, maintenance insights, and real-time decisions. Corey, Grant, and John also dig into AI ride-alongs, privacy concerns around in-vehicle cameras, why driver safety programs need to be framed around trust instead of surveillance, and what the day-to-day work of dispatchers, drivers, and maintenance leaders could look like three years from now.
