that Samsara took the feedback and shipped real product improvements, which for her

was the proof-point that partnership input changes the product and is worth the effort.

Samsara safety visibility in practice: “second set of eyes,” complementing skilled

drivers, and what drives adoption. Tehzin Chadwick described UNFI’s operating

reality as highly variable (large retail environments through tighter urban spaces) where

low-speed maneuvering and backing are everyday occurrences, so “better visibility”

most frequent, most operationally messy situations (not just rare, high-speed edge

feedback was “overwhelmingly positive,” including a driver describing it as “like
