This kind of technology really helpful especially for women that find difficulties to predict the miles of their car. However, that on-board-computer has its limits and sometimes won’t give us as detailed information as we want. This problem trigger the creation by Automatic where the car are connected to our smartphone by take the cars on-board-computer to the next level.

Automatic Link will be connected to our smartphone through Bluetooth. Then, the Automatic application will provide the information about our car. Once all the connection is connected, we will get more information about car and our driving also. Based on the information gathered, the system will let us know about our style of driving and also will help us how to safe fuel.

The information will be delivered via a little speaker built-in to the Automatic device. It will create a sound when we braking too hard or accelerating too harshly. The application will store information about our driving so over the week we can see how many MPG we did, how many miles we did, how long or short a journey was, and it will even track local petrol prices so we can track how much you’re spending.

The other feature is that Automatic can detect a crash. It has an accelerometer built-in that can detect a crash. It’ll then automatically use your phone and report the crash to 911 with your name, location and vehicle. After it’s done that, it’ll even text your loved ones to tell them what’s happened. All for free. It also will give you information about your engine, whether you have any engine problems and the ability to show you were you parked because it has GPS built into the unit. Most smartphones now come with Bluetooth 4.0 and the ‘Automatic Link’ uses that technology so you can be assured your battery won’t be murdered whilst it’s connected.
