TARGET MARKET
- Families with teenage drivers
- Drivers who are prone to texting
The SmartSafe is a revolutionary USPTO patent approved anti-texting device intended to be an add-on package, modifying existing automobiles console to the Smart Safe specifications.
This device is aimed at teenage drivers or those prone to texting while driving. The primary safety feature of the SmartSafe is a “smart start” system, which prevents the car from starting while the driver’s phone is unsecured. Once the phone is locked into the smart safe, the car can be driven once again. This product prevents texting while the driver is operating the vehicle by securing the smartphone and other devices such as Apple Watch and Smart Glasses.
How it Works
After entering the car, the driver will push a button on the SmartSafe console, which will send a text to the driver’s phone confirming “yes” to verify that the smartphone is registered within the Smart Safe. Once the driver confirms “yes,” and pushes the button on SmartSafe console, it will open, and the driver will place their phone inside. The phone will be connected to an internal USB charger before locking shut. When the driver reaches their destination, they will push a button on the SmartSafe to unlock the phone, only after the system detects that the vehicle is safely parked.
