Mobile application that allows you to get more from the car

Recently, the topic of developing applications for cars has become quite relevant. The market is rapidly responding to such signals, and online surveys of applications directed in this direction are more and more common.

One of these applications is Automatic (iOS). It consists of two parts - a hardware plug that connects to the on-board computer of the car, and the application itself on the device. The entire kit will cost the car owner $ 70 and allow you to transfer data from the car to the phone via Bluetooth.



How it works: the application analyzes the data and begins to act as a smart helper while driving. The application analyzes all your trips and provides the user with tips on how to drive more carefully, how to reduce fuel consumption and how to increase the overall service life of the car. In addition, Automatic also calculates the average fuel consumption for a particular trip.

The main purpose of the application is that the driver can look at his car in a new way. In addition, it was not without the game mechanics that are currently fashionable, there are “driver scores” in the application. Points are calculated on the basis of different parameters, for example, the number of sudden brakes per trip or speeding.

One of the most interesting features of the application is the “timeline” (almost one to one repeating the implementation of the timeline in the Path), which records all your trips, their duration, fuel consumption, route on the map, in general, almost any information on a particular trip. The more such information the driver has, the easier it will be for him to optimize his routes and later save his time and money.


The second is no less interesting, and most importantly useful chip is to decipher the problems. Instead of dragging the car into the service as soon as the “check engine” icon lights up, you can simply see in the application what is wrong. If a breakdown occurred during an accident, then Automatic sends the coordinates of the car to emergency services.

The application also allows you to save the location of the car in the parking lot. When the user switches off the motor, Automatic records the location of the last connection with the hardware part of the product.

In general, the main goal of the project is to teach more intelligent driving. For example, driving at a speed of 110 km / h instead of 130
km / h reduces fuel consumption by 15%. According to the creators of the application, such moments reduce the cost of the car many times over time.
