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.
