Thought this was interesting - this was part of my Sept AAA Northeast Update - there was section on Teen Driver Technology. It would appear they are very focused on distracted driving for teens and our app would fit nicely into their strategy.
Teen driver safety smartphone apps
The Life360 app, for both Android and iOS, is designed to keep families connected – no more wondering if Billy arrived home safe or if Sarah ever reached her friend’s house. The app provides a driver safety mode that will track locations and monitor speed, sending out text message alerts for hard braking, rapid acceleration, and even crashes. There’s also 24/7 driver care support. Other apps, like AT&T’s DriveMode works to prevent distractions from silencing notifications as soon as it detects that an individual is driving. Apple has also gone in this direction and plans to release a built-in update for iOS that can detect when you’re in the car and silence notifications from apps and texts. The list of safe driving phone applications can go on, and while some programs like EverDrive are more passive and monitoring than others, it’s still better to have some form of a “don’t text and drive” reminder than none at all.
