AutoHabits Helps Parents Safely Monitor Young Drivers

TUCSON, AZ, July 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) AutoHabits is a NEW Driving Behavior Monitoring System that is reassuring parents of young drivers. A small, discrete device connects directly to the vehicle's computer consistently sending real-time data whenever the car is being driven. Parents stay aware and informed, so they can reinforce responsible driving habits, or immediately address areas of concern. Now you can Put Yourself in the Passenger SeatTM without actually being there.

"This technology is quite remarkable", says Jon Rowley, AutoHabits CTO. He continues, "AutoHabits goes much further to differentiate versus other GPS type systems". Through AutoHabits' reporting tools, parents receive weekly emails with Dashboard Reports that summarize information in an easy-to-understand format. Key driving behavior indicators are benchmarked against other drivers in the database to provide parents with helpful comparisons for better understanding. Mobile text alerts and secure web-based mapping tools provide essential information as often as needed.

What do teenagers think? Teenagers report that they appreciate when their parents choose AutoHabits because the device is not noticed by their friends, it keeps everything between themselves and their parents. They realize that their parent's ultimate goal is to keep them safe, and they understand the importance of establishing driving boundaries. Parents appreciate the peace-of-mind it gives by not having to call the driver's mobile phone to "check-in".

"What sets AutoHabits apart is our parent-centered philosophy and our innovative solutions for accessing and making driver data relevant and meaningful," says Jonathan Cottor, CEO of AutoHabits, LLC.
