Our Story

We take driving seriously so we invested our own money to bring about what we knew will be a truly safer way to interact with the car and the electronic gadgets, and will not be another a gimmicky electronic toy that will add to the problem because of improper understanding or ignoring of :

1. Humanity of the Driver.

2. The variation of the Machines and Technology.

3. The Environment inside and outside the car.

4. Historical and Temporal factors that made the above 3 items unique.

5. Automating the Regulation infusion into the driving experience so its benefit is fully utilized.

I first encountered driving distraction by technology in my 1971 Cutlass V8 -350.  As I tried to adjust an FM radio adaptor that was poorly placed by the installer.  Leaning while the steering in my hand cause the steering to move in the opposite direction and gave me a good scare.  In 1989, while using a software I developed from vehicle audit,  I again found my self driving erratically while trying to enter a single key reply to a menu.

Those were behavior I committed and it was then expected that if I do not engage in such activity, I will not drive erratically and will not get into accidents or scares from near misses.

Fast forward couple of month and now I am driving a sporty prototype test vehicle.  Each time I leaned forward a light in the instrument panel came on and disappeared quickly before I was able to discern the correct identity.  Few miles later I recognized that the blinking light came on only when my maneuvers were harsh enough to cause me to move in my seat, but in each case, the light was not the same and I should not be doing investigation while driving on public road, so I headed back to the company test ground.

Back on the company ground, I put the vehicle in a big loop drive and high speed and found out that the lights were the low washer fluid and the seat belt alarm.  Further investigation showed that the washer fluid sensor placement was not ideal and would flash On and Off even though the fluid was not exhausted.   The Seatbelt indicator on the other hand, had shorted a resistive encoder causing the seat belt to look not extended enough to be truly worn by the driver

The decision came to fix the seat belt encoder at the supplier, but the water bottle proposal to have a delay circuit to prevent the alarm from distracting the driver at the wrong time was delayed and then replaced with a mechanical solution that changed the shape of the bottle.  I accepted that as a matter of fact and went about getting distracted through 1993 until I had enough near misses and enough scare.  I stopped playing the helpless and went back to 1985 and revived a school project and started the refinement until I had something that works

My constant travel made the distraction problem severe enough for me to get fully involved in working on a solution.  Others did not share my enthusiasm with bravado about how it is not a problem. 

In year 1997, I moved to realize the  dream  of a safer Driver interaction with the vehicle in general and with Cell phone, Satellite Navigation on a notebook, and pagers. After few failures with engineers moving on to other projects, in Summer of 2002 and after two years of basement and garage work, the solution became a reality and functioning on a 1989 MAZDA MPV.

The solution will be available through the web by Spring/Summer of 2011  2012.  We are collecting pre-orders without obligations.  Please fill a form out and we will contact you when the solution is ready for sale.

What do we do?

iQ-Telematics^TM provides the tools that makes it possible for drivers to enjoy connectivity safely and easily 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 Real World Observation (Naturalistic Driving). They are formulated to allow connectivity to cell phone voice communication, texting, e-mail and access to the web, (but not web browsing).

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. Our Technologies can 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 . 

Licensing for "OEM deployment" is available by contacting manaboulsi@actplace.net
