Autobeacon TeenDrive

Autobeacon TeenDrive is a patented connected-car solution for novice teen drivers that lets parents ensure Safe Driving, GDL compliance, Cost Savings and Decreased Legal Liability through monitoring almost every form of reckless and distracted teen driving. This app requires additional hardware and service that can be purchased from www.autobeacon.org.

Autobeacon TeenDrive Features Include:
• Passenger Restrictions: set the number of teen passengers your driver may travel with, receive notifications if there are more than allowed.
• Cell Phone Use Prevention: prevent texting and distracting app use while car is moving through a "lock-out" screen that is presented while the car is moving.
• Speed vs. Posted Speed Limit: set a threshold above the posted speed limit (ex. +10 mph) and receive notification when the threshold is exceeded.
• Seat-Belt Use Enforcement: create seat belt use requirements for the driver and front passenger and receive notifications if either is not using their seatbelt.
• Excessively Loud Music Notifications: make sure music in the car isn't being played to the point of distraction, receive notifications if the sound exceeds a safe level.
• Location, Routes and Boundaries:
- Real-time location of the driver.
- Recent drives and associated statistics.
- Set boundaries around key locations like school, home or work and receive notifications when the driver has arrived to, is currently at or has departed from that location.
• Curfew: set a nighttime driving curfew and receive notifications if driver is driving during that time interval.
Interior Notification Cam: select to receive a picture of the interior of the car with all notifications or only some categories of notifications.
• Drinking & Driving Prevention with the Smart Breathalyzer: this feature requires a Bluetooth breathalyzer which can be purchased from www.autobeacon.org. Create days and time intervals for when the driver is required to use the breathalyzer before driving, when he or she gets into the car during these times they will be directed to use the Breathalyzer.
• DashCam (coming soon): use the DashCam to record the events leading up to a rough braking incident to use as evidence to protect yourself in the case of an accident.

The Autobeacon TeenDrive system requires a Bluetooth Beacon to be attached to the interior of the teen driver's vehicle - no wiring or plug-ins required; and a smartphone bracket to be placed on the dashboard of the vehicle. The app allows parents to create restrictions with regards to their children's driving behavior and receive notifications when those restrictions are broken. The parent(s) and the teen driver(s) both have the app installed on their phone, but what the parents see and can do within the app is different than what the teen driver can see and do.

When the parent logs in they can:
• Add and Delete Drivers
• View Driver Scores
• Change Restriction and Notification Settings
• Add and Delete Vehicles
• View and Delete Notifications
• View and Delete Recent Drives

The teen driver log's in once during set up and should never log-out and log-in again; if he or she log's out, the system will not work properly and a notification will be sent notifying the parent of the log-out. When the driver is logged-in they can see their driving score and other statistics like total number of hours and miles driven as well as their current restriction settings. The teen driver cannot make any changes to their restriction settings. Every time the driver enters the vehicle the app will be initiated and the driver will receive a notification reminding him or her to place his or her iPhone into the smartphone bracket. After the phone is placed into the smartphone bracket the app does the rest to make sure that all restrictions are being followed. If the app is not opened or the phone is not placed in the smartphone bracket a notification is sent reporting system tampering.
