What do we do?

 

iQ-AutoLifeTM provides the tools that makes it possible for drivers to enjoy connectivity in safer manner than what is offered by Automotive OEM, Telecom and Telematics service and hardware providers.  The system provides anxiety free interface with guaranteed Eyes On The Road and Hands On The Wheel to eliminate driver distraction due to manual texting, cell phone calls, e-mailing and browsing.

Our technologies are Patented and Patent pending in the U.S. and EU. They are the results of more than two decades of Real World Observation (others call it Naturalistic Driving).  Before you get excited, we assure you that cell phone calls, e-mailing and browsing are not carried out in the usual way but in a manner that guarantees Connectivity with Eyes On The Road and Hands On The WheelTM.
The difference between our technology and the "Ad hoc" way drivers access these connectivity means, is that we structure the experience to assure Convenience and a Common Sense approach that will avoid the known causes of in-vehicle or nomadic technologies.

The difference between our technology and the way automotive is that we are not aiming for providing the devices and services, but we aim to make the devices, the services, the drivers, the car to work together seamlessly to provide moderated connectivity and driving under strict safety rules extracted from real world historical facts.

Our Technologies will sense a danger and stop phones before the interrupt the driver. It can also guarantee that the drivers hands are on the wheel and not doing anything else while talking on the phone or when listening to e-mail. There is nothing like what we offer out there and expert that looked at our prototypes proclaimed it as meet or exceed existing "guide lines" from multiple regulatory and authoritative sources. Certification will be published once completed.

Our Offering is geared toward the most effected groups in the driver distraction problem. Starting with the individual driver up to the largest Commercial and Governmental fleets.

We are working on our mass production design that will be available in the fall of 2012.  Purchase of an aftermarket solution is available by contacting Mouhamad@iQ-Telematics.com or pre-order through our Online store.

The Gateway also uses the phone data account, or a dedicated communication account to interface with iQ-HUBTM. It will retrieve a summary of the latest e-mails, news, weather and traffic to audibly read to the driver as per his selection in iQ-HUBTM.

 

iQ-GatewayTM is not equipped with a display. All information is given to the driver verbally so drivers eyes never leave the road.
