    How does the product respond in emergencies– would a driver pinned behind the wheel be unable to place an emergency call? Can the system be bypassed by disabling bluetooth? Does the audit function simply monitor bluetooth-enabled device usage, or does it collect information about # of persons in vehicle, in-cab audio/video, GPS/location tracking, speed/G force tracking, etc? Aren’t cell jammers illegal in most jurisdictions (if not nationally) and how does the product address this? If you put this device on a 16 year old boy’s car, how quickly would he have it disabled/bypassed? Could a person simply hold the phone across the center line instead of in their own lap? Does the product require installation of an application on driver phones to ensure proper functionality? Good premise, but lots of questions.

    this is the first one out of the box — just like iPhone5 is lightyears ahead of the original this is just the beginning of technology I think auto carriers will flock to like defensive driving courses and “Snapsot” devices

    My auto insurance agent offered to put a “snapshot” doo dad in my car (a 1958 Austin Healey) and she was astonished that there was no OBD2 plug to put it into. She was also surprised that the car’s VIN was not on a metal plate on the dashboard. I will do anything I can to prevent Big Brother from monitoring my life.
