AXA Driveaware

[beyond the blue]

I use AXA for my car insurance and have just been sent this....http://www.axa.co.uk/insurance/personal/car/driveaware/ Now being a thick old git how on earth can a mobile phone give information like this.

i can only imagine it uses GPS and accelerometer information.

And how will it do, calmness, anticipation and smoothness.

Also been offered this by AXA but thought I wouldn't be a good idea to show them the sort of driver I am.

As Neil says, the smart phone will know where you are, it will know the road layout, the speed limit etc. The phone also has a accelerometer built in and thus can easily measure how you accelerate, decelerate, keep a steady pace, are well under or over the limit, apply aggressive braking etc

Then with other linked sensors it can take the barometric pressure, heart rates, image of facial expressions, listen to you ambient sounds and distractions, etc...

I can basically do anything but make you a cup of coffee.

Why not? I don't mind instant if the French press is too much of a faff. But would prefer a tea.

It could use the built in camera to record the incident, the GPS that you are taking the corners to tight or erratic merging back in, and the microphone to listen to the language, the blood pressure monitor for increased hard rate...

Alternatively it could just assume that the OP, based upon age that you will cut people up whilst driving too fast inside city boundaries and too slow ouside them. :devil:

Let it use the GPS and steer you to the nearest Starbucks via GPS and remotely place the order using say apple pay to pay....

 

[neil_g]

blood pressure monitor?

i dont think it'll record sound and video though, i doubt they'd have a datacenter big enough to handle all the app info.

the blood pressure monitor for increased hard rate...

Never get hard when I'm driving.
