SaverOne Strikes Deal with Fandango to Tackle Trucker Distractions

Introduction – Your Phone Might Be Costing You More Than You Think

Let’s be real — we’ve all seen it: a driver swerving in the lane, eyes locked on TikTok, not the taillights ahead. Distractions behind the wheel are becoming a bigger problem, especially in **heavy-duty trucks**. And that’s why this new partnership just might shake up the industry.


SaverOne just inked a deal with Fandango (not the movie site — a real fleet) to deploy driver distraction prevention tech across their rigs.
Let’s break it down — what this means, why it matters, and whether it's a safety game-changer or just more Big Brother tech creeping into the cab.

The Update – What SaverOne’s Bringing to the Table

So here’s the scoop:
SaverOne’s system blocks access to dangerous smartphone apps while still allowing safe ones (like GPS or emergency calls). It’s designed to:

📵 Eliminate distractions – Prevents access to social media, video apps, and texting while the vehicle is moving.
🧠 Work passively – Doesn’t rely on the driver remembering to turn it on.
🔐 Protect data – It doesn’t spy on your convos or sell your data (allegedly — keep those eyes peeled 👀).
🚛 Scale fleet-wide – It’s designed for fleet deployment, not just single drivers.

Fandango plans to roll this out across their entire heavy-truck fleet, making it a big test run for this type of tech in North America.

Why This Is a Big Deal (and Not Just PR Fluff)

Distracted driving is no joke. According to FMCSA, it's one of the top 5 causes of fatal truck crashes — right up there with speeding and fatigue.

And the truth is:

Phones aren’t going anywhere

ELDs can’t fix everything

Driver coaching only goes so far

Fleet managers are looking for a tech solution that keeps drivers focused without pissing them off. SaverOne thinks they’ve cracked the code.

If it works for Fandango, other fleets are gonna start asking, “Why aren’t we using this?”

Perspectives – What Are Drivers and Fleets Saying?

🗣️ The safety-first company driver:

“If it helps keep me safe and keeps others off my bumper, I’m all for it. Ain’t nobody tryna die over a Snapchat streak.”

🗣️ The old-school independent:

“I don’t need a robot tellin’ me not to touch my phone. I’ve been drivin’ longer than these tech guys been alive.”

🗣️ The fleet owner:

“This could save lives and protect us legally. If a system like SaverOne proves it blocked a distraction, that’s ammo in court.”

Like most things in trucking — some will fight it, some will love it.

But you better believe insurance companies and safety auditors will start asking fleets, “Where’s your distraction prevention tech?”

Industry Response – Will This Catch On?

SaverOne’s timing is smart.
Here’s why this deal could lead to a bigger trend:

📈 Laws tightening – More states are adopting stricter anti-phone driving laws.
🛡️ Liability pressure – Fleets are getting sued for distracted driving accidents even if they “trained” drivers.
🧰 Tech is maturing – These systems used to be clunky. Now they integrate seamlessly.

If the Fandango rollout is smooth — expect other large fleets to follow. Especially if it helps reduce crashes and cut insurance premiums.

Bottom Line – The Future Is Less Distracted

This isn’t about banning your phone. It’s about keeping you alive — and your career intact.

With regulators, insurers, and fleets all cracking down on in-cab distractions, tech like SaverOne might become as common as dash cams and ELDs.

Whether you love it or hate it, this trend is only picking up speed.
