Just when you think that wearable devices are meant for humans alone, with companies such as Fitbit rolling out devices for humans, along comes a new device for your car – which can be classified as a Fitbit for your four wheeler, so to speak. I am referring to the Drivebot, where it intends to keep track of the car’s well being as well as having the ability to actually alert you to any kind of potential issues and problems before you actually drive too far and end up in a more dire strait than before.
The Drivebot is currently an Indiegogo project, and should it be able to raise the right amount of funds eventually, then this particular tracker will be able to plug into a port of your car and work through Bluetooth. It will come with a complementary app for iOS (7 or later) and Android platforms. Apart from that, it ought to play nice with all OBD-II compatible cars, and for those in the US, it would mean majority of the cars sold since 1996, while for folks living across the pond in the UK, it would be since 2001.
What do you think of the Drivebot – is it going to be something that all drivers will eventually rave about?
