Does it seem as if some trends are omnipresent on everyone’s annual “Anticipated Trends” lists?
Don’t worry, it's not just you. Innovation doesn’t just instantaneously burst onto the scene out of the blue.
There are levels to this–specifically, there are stages of development before concepts turn into actual working products fit for public consumption.
On that note, these are three (not all unfamiliar) tech trends we’re looking forward to in 2023.

Simply put, visibility is kind of our thing here at RVS and it’s critical to road safety.
So when it comes to buying a new/used vehicle, we sincerely hope that it factors into your decision-making.
Though most, if not all of these vehicles are now equipped with some sort of visual video aid for parking or reversing (like backup cameras or sensors), their designs hinder visibility when it comes to seeing blind spots and operating safely on the road.
These are the 5 worst cars when it comes to visibility:

Dude, Where's My Car?!
It’s been a perfect storm if you’re a car thief: supply chain issues stemming from 2020’s lockdowns combined with inflation have increased car values AND theft rates in the last two years.
Reported thefts were up by 6% in 2021 from the previous year, and up 17% from 2019!
Whether for resale in the international black market, for their catalytic converters, or for their spare-part resale values, it seems some makes and models have perennial targets on their backs.
These 10 were the most stolen in 2021, according to the NICB:

‘Tis that time of year again, when an extra cup of eggnog can mean the difference between life and death in a wintry storm.
Though this is a bit overly dramatic, we do take winter (and drunk) driving seriously here at RVS.
While we offer both heated systems AND driver fatigue detection systems (including an AI facial recognition dash cam in the works!) that address both of those issues, we also recommend taking preventative steps if you have to hit the road.
Going that extra mile is crucial if you live in one of these 10 states* where driving fatalities are especially high in the winter:...

It’s not just a phase anymore!
Electrification is happening, along with legislation and battery production to support the necessary infrastructure.
As big automakers like Chevy and Ford pivot their passenger vehicles to compete with the likes of Tesla, commercial vehicles have been a little slower to the punch–though some are starting to see the benefits of electrifying their fleets:
Improved Efficiency
Efficiency is the name of the game when it comes to running a fleet, and EVs tend to be more efficient by nature.
That signature EV instant torque means large vehicles need much less power...

Delivery vehicles may not be known for their innovative features (with the exception of a few concept models), but it doesn’t mean they need to be stuck in the past forever.
Upfitting a delivery fleet with safety systems (like those of the RVS + Geotab integration) improves operations, reliability, safety, and even profitability in the long run.
How?
Tracking Driver Behavior & Efficiency
Using telematics to find the most efficient routes are important for any fleet, but even more so with last mile deliveries, since hitting those promised delivery times is the name of the game. Not doing so...

It’s disheartening how a vehicle’s crash costs can pile up. If you’re a smaller fleet, it’s downright draining.
The costs of repairs are usually what come to mind, but there are less obvious expenses that sneak up and compound over time.
Damages
We’ll start with the immediate costs:
Property and vehicle damages cost tens of thousands of dollars–even more so if the vehicle or damage is beyond fixing and needs to be replaced.
Insurance
Few things in life are guaranteed, but taxes and higher insurance premiums after an accident can always be counted on.
Even if you’re not at fault, expect...

In a time of high fuel costs and inflation, operational inefficiencies can end up costing a fleet more than ever.
Though seemingly innocuous at first glance, idling is one of these inefficiencies–and when compounded, it can cut into profits.
The more time a driver is on the road, the higher the chance they’ll spend sitting and waiting in traffic with the engine running. With a large fleet, this can add up to hundreds of wasted hours a month.
Large trucks consume about .8 gallons of fuel an hour when idling, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
When you consider that the average truck...
