Netradyne Rolls Out Driver Safety Technology Across Largest Taxi Fleet in Western U.S.

ASC Yellow Cab achieves an 98.5% accurate driver safety scoring and 15% reduction in claim frequency within first 12 months of Netradyne deployment

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Netradyne, a global leader in AI-driven road and fleet safety solutions, today announced that Ride Yellow – the largest taxicab organization in the Western United States – has selected Netradyne as its preferred fleet safety platform across its expansive network of taxi services.

Ride Yellow experienced an immediate positive impact on the rate of at fault accidents upon installation of Netradyne’s Driver•i™ platform, featuring the D-450 200-hour camera and Vbus module for odometer tracking.

“With Netradyne, several of our taxi fleets — including LA Yellow Cab, Orange County-based California Yellow Cab, San Diego Yellow Cab, and Denver Metro Taxi — now have a crystal-clear view into driver performance,” said CEO William Rouse. “The platform’s 100% drive time analysis and highly accurate GreenZone scoring have helped us identify risky behaviors before they become incidents. What’s most impactful is how it reinforces the positive: in-vehicle alerts automatically encourage safer driving in real time, reducing our need for constant oversight. Since adopting Netradyne, we’ve seen a measurable improvement in safety and a drop in accident frequency."

Every prevented accident represents claim costs that would otherwise drive up auto insurance premiums, by far the biggest expense for Ride Yellow’s operation.

Companies like Ride Yellow are facing pressures in the commercial auto insurance market, including enterprise-threatening premium increases. To control accident rates and strengthen loss controls across its fleet of 1,500 vehicles, Ride Yellow required a smarter solution. Ride Yellow had deployed a competitor’s safety solution in 2022, but limitations in low G-force collision detection and delayed in-cab alerts hindered real-time behavioral correction.

When the contract ended, Ride Yellow conducted an exhaustive review of all available options to ensure any new solution could deliver on its ambitious goals: mitigating high-risk behavior and reducing claim-generating events such as accidents and risky driving. After that review, Ride Yellow selected Netradyne for its award-winning, AI-driven Driver•i™ platform because of its ability to deliver meaningful in cab alerts the moment risky behavior occurs, its capacity to capture and surface those instances for driver coaching, and its precise location tracking tied to each event.

With Netradyne’s Driver•i™ platform, Ride Yellow has achieved the following results in 12 months:

• Reduced claim frequency by 15%, and savings already surpassing the cost of implementation
• Detected and responded to high-severity risks like red light and stop sign violations, as well as distracted driving
• Maintained safety oversight staffing levels despite fleet expansion

“Netradyne is the coworker doing the coaching inside the cab while we focus on other back office tasks,” added Rouse.

Netradyne’s Driver•i™ platform merges powerful AI-driven video telematics with advanced fleet and driver safety insights. The core of the system, the D-450 camera, is a compact, windshield-mounted unit featuring four HD lenses that provide a 270° field of view. The platform delivers ~99% driver behavior alert accuracy, up to 200 hours of searchable on-device video storage, and an industry-first driver scoring system that reinforces safe behaviors. It also captures precise vehicle mileage via the Vbus module to support smarter maintenance, compliance, and operational decision-making.

“It’s a pleasure to support innovative companies like Ride Yellow that want to build safer roads and stronger operations in the face of challenging business environments,” said Heather Engen. "We take pride in offering our customers a truly proactive system that helps them do more with less—simultaneously improving safety outcomes while reducing costs.”

With a fleet of over 1,500 vehicles, Ride Yellow serves a diverse range of transportation needs, from traditional cab services to school transportation, NEMT, and rideshare.
