Fancy becoming a Beta Tester for a new motoring Android app?
Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2014 11:42 pm
Calling all motoring enthusiasts!
I'm on the lookout for test drivers for a new motoring-centric mobile app.
I'm the Chief Automotive Engineer for a new startup company called AutoMosys. Our aim is to help drivers to get the most from their driving with live information direct from their car's on-board ECU, from the sensors in the phone and with tips and helpful advice on driving efficiency.
We are developing an application that will run on your mobile phone and use data gathered from your car and from the phone sensors/GPS etc, to provide you with information about your day-to-day driving, that you wouldn't normally get just from the dashboard of your car and we are on the lookout for enthusiasts to become part of our test-drive community for our first products.
The connection to your car is made by plugging in one of those neat little Bluetooth transmitters that gathers information about the operation of your engine using the OBD port that is usually located under the dash.
Not only will our system give you up-to-the-minute data on your fuel efficiency, cost, average MPG and timing of your journey, it also maintains a history of your journeys, so that you can review each logged journey in detail, to see where improvements can be made, if any.
AutoMosys also monitors your driving style and, on request, can even recommend changes that may help to improve your overall MPG! If your phone has a data or Wi-Fi connection, it can connect to the cloud to save a selected set of that data to your own private cloud-space, linked to your AutoMosys account for you to browse at your own leisure on your PC, or download to your mobile phone.
You can connect your AutoMosys account to selected individuals (children, parents, employees etc), in order to share and see data about average speeds, to see where one of your family members or employees might be driving at any time, or just to have a look at how much it's costing you to lend out your car for the evening!
As one of our Beta testers, we will provide you with a free Beta Test version of our mobile app. If you already have the use of a Bluetooth OBD dongle, then that should be all you need to get going, but if not, don't worry because we'll loan one to you.
Development is well under way and we are planning an initial release of the AutoMosys app before the end of this year. Initially, it will only work on Android, but we will be adding iPhone shortly after, along with a number of other improvements and features next year.
If you think you'd like to become part of our Beta Test group, or if you just like to know more about AutoMosys or our products, please send an email to: douglas.ponsford@automosys.com, or have a look at our fledgling website, http://www.automosys.com.
Drive Safe!
