Using a camera and software, the company can monitor speed limits from road signs and also keep tabs on other vehicles and pedestrians for the automatic braking system.   Those in the know say Mobileye offers simple, low-cost solutions and that the company has gathered data, which is very important to machine learning, and data which is important for effective automated driving. This data has been gathered through extensive driving experience.   ## The way machine learning technology works The machine learning technique uses new technologies, capturing images and annotating them to discern road markings, traffic signs, other vehicles and pedestrians.   These images are captured by the camera as cars with the Mobileye drive around. The images are sent to a neural network and, using a deep learning technique, can distinguish the elements of an image to classify it.   Mobileye is working on technology that could make automated cars safer by using a technique called reinforcement learning, which is inspired by the way animals learn through experience. This technique can be used to teach computers to drive safely in complex, real-life situations.   ## The future face of fleets Will we have automated driving fleets in future?   The way machine learning is developing seems to indicate this will be possible. And while we are still waiting for this technology to be incorporated into our vehicles, innovation has already transformed fleets in recent years.   Fleet Managers can already use productivity software to execute strategy for their fleets. This technology is already widely used to reduce costs and ensure a high return on investment.   ### Let’s take a look at a few examples of Avis Fleet’s technology to ensure greater fleet efficiency: - Avis Fleet puts vehicle [telematics](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions/telematics/) technology to work for the effective reduction of costs and improvement of fleet efficiency by tracking driver behaviour. Vehicle telematics reports have helped Avis Fleet customers  save up to 20% in fuel costs. - Avis Fleet can help you take care of all the details needed to run an efficient fleet.
