Samsara moves AI agents from software into physical fleet operations

• Samsara, a fleet management company, is deploying AI agents that can interpret data from trucks, warehouses, and dashboard cameras to identify problems before equipment fails.
• The company's chief technology officer is working to move these AI systems beyond chat interfaces into real-world physical operations where they can take action on actual vehicles and facilities.
• This represents a shift from AI agents operating purely in software toward agents that work with real-time sensor data from physical infrastructure.
