Empire has always been an industry pioneer in the implementation of technology that will benefit passenger comfort and safety.

"DriveCam helps us maintain superior customer care while lowering our insurance losses"” said David Seelinger, president of Empire. "I am not trying to promote a product, but DriveCam has saved us literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in reduced collisions. We have reduced our collisions by 62% and can now self-insure for collision coverage. I can’t say enough about it – it is a fantastic program for us."

DriveCam’s Driving Feedback System integrates video technology and management software to identify high-risk driving habits. Driving events are collected by DriveCam, a palm-sized video recorder mounted behind the rearview mirror that records what drivers see and hear. Video files are automatically downloaded to a computer, where HindSight 20/20 software allows managers to view and analyze driving performance. Videos can also be emailed directly to insurance carriers to settle claims.

"We are privileged to work with a quality company such as Empire, who is concerned about driver and passenger safety," said Ed Andrew, president of DriveCam. "DriveCam's Driving Feedback System provides a comprehensive program to monitor, track and improve driving performance. Improved driving performance not only impacts safety, but reduces risk and lowers operating expenses for commercial fleets."
Empire International, Ltd., founded in 1980, is one of the largest providers of chauffeured transportation services in the world. The company’s resources include more than 12,000 vehicles worldwide and 20,000 dedicated transportation professionals.
