Devices and driving are now undeniably intertwined. Various apps can help make driving safer, potentially reducing the number of accidents and fatalities on the nation’s roadways.
• OneTap: OneTap was designed to put an end to distracted driving. Once enabled, the OneTap app blocks incoming alerts on drivers’ phones and automatically replies to let individuals calling or sending messages that drivers will get in touch when they reach their destination.
• DriveMode: DriveMode was designed for drivers who want a hands-free messaging and calling option while behind the wheel. The app utilizes voiceenabled commands so drivers reply to messages or texts using only their voice.
• OtoZen: OtoZen can appeal to any drivers looking to be more safe, but it can be especially useful for parents of young drivers. Users can track family and friends with the app’s GPS tracker that can share location information in real time. Incoming messages are delivered through users’ car speakers, and speed alerts notify drivers when they exceed safe speed limits.
