"Safety is always at top-of-mind for Blue Bird, and adding a collision avoidance system to our buses is an excellent way to continue to transport our most precious cargo safely, and effectively," said David Bercik, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Blue Bird Corporation. "Combining a 360-camera with a collision avoidance system is a fantastic way to make our buses safer and easier to drive. Mobileye is another example of Blue Bird's drive in bringing features seen in day-to-day personal vehicle usage to the school bus industry."

"Historically, on-board technology placed on school buses would capture faults of drivers, but Mobileye technology does not measure driver performance, instead it provides driver assistance," said Clint Bryer, director of sales, student transportation for Safety Vision. "Having the right technology shows drivers you care about their peace of mind, while reducing accidents and helping them retain a good driving record."

School districts will be able to have this technology factory-installed on their newly-ordered Blue Bird buses, as well as installed on their existing bus fleet through their local Blue Bird dealer. For more information on the Mobileye collision avoidance system, visit www.blue-bird.com/mobileye.
