Smart way to better driving?
TomTom Telematics has launched CURFER – a smart connected car solution designed to help motorists improve their driving style.
TomTom CURFER consists of a smartphone app and a small on-board diagnostics (OBD) device.
Feedback includes live and retrospective information on your braking, cornering, acceleration and idling. In addition, various car statistics can be obtained.
Drivers can share information on their individual driving style with friends over social media networks and “earn digital badges”.
The device, priced from £79, plugs into the ODB slot on your vehicle and sends data to an app on your iPhone or Android smartphone.
“With the launch of TomTom CURFER, we’re able to help people to become better drivers,” said Thomas Becher of TomTom Telematics.
“Ultimately, it’s a smart solution for car enthusiasts who want to feel more connected to their vehicle.”
