Agents read every truck. Your dashboard sits empty.
You dropped the AI charge and let every lab's agent read and write Samsara, a year after the truck makers wired in their own.
A year later, agent requests to Samsara are up 9x. Dashboard logins are down 70%. In the yard, a new tractor rolls in with its own antenna.
OMNI: Your data's marvelous. Though this truck talks to me directly now. Factory-fitted. Very chatty.
The CFO: We bill per vehicle, not per login! So we're fine! We are fine?
Head of Hardware: Half the trucks on the road have no factory feed. No trailer has one. No forklift. And our gateways hear every tag they pass.
Head of Hardware: Every agent will need eyes where the trucks are blind. Do we sell those eyes, or keep them for our own agent?
- A. Sell the eyes. Every agent queries our network. Thin margin. Hard to copy.
- B. We keep the data. Our agent learns from it. Ten years of driving, remembered.
- C. Agents pay per call to read a truck. Robots pay more than people.
