Live Undistracted — Distracted Driving Solution For Commercial Drivers
Technology that prevents drivers from getting distracted by their phone without hardware or phone sensors
The Problem
While delivery, construction, trucking, food and beverage and other fleet-based companies have phone policies, they are impossible to enforce, leading to costly repairs, injuries and deaths. Fleets have a 20 percent annual accident rate at an average cost of $20,000 each, and some accidents result in multi-million dollar negligent entrustment lawsuits. It’s a $2 billion industry problem. To date, there hasn’t been a reliable, cost-effective and driver-friendly solution to warrant a command in the market. Others have tried to solve the problem using hardware or phone sensors, but have failed due to battery-drain, false triggers and high costs that range from $5 to $13 per driver per month.
What The Company Does
Live Undistracted’s patent-pending PhoneSafe blanks the phone screen when the truck is taken out of park, using a combination of software, in-truck telematics and read-only iBeacon technology. The costs is $0.50 per driver per month.
