A number of driving apps and devices have been introduced in the market of late to avert the increasing number of accidents taking place. Car and Driver unravels it latest mobile application dubbed as Txt U L8r. Developed by iSpeech and sponsored by Chrysler Brand, this software is primarily to forestall the dangers of texting while driving.
This app will automatically send replies to text messages without the need for users to give a command. When it is running, a pre-determined message is sent to the sender notifying them that the handset owner is unavailable. Concurrently the software will read aloud received messages, so that drivers do not miss out on anything urgent. The company decided to build this application after analyzing the results derived from its Car and Driver Texting While Driving Study.
“Our experiment showed just how dangerous texting while driving can be,” commented Eddie Alterman, editor-in-chief of Car and Driver. “The results of our research were precisely the reason we developed Txt U L8r in an effort to help drivers avoid car accidents often associated with distracted driving. Our goal is to make Txt U L8r part of a daily driving routine while helping save lives behind the wheel.”
“Chrysler brand vehicles are designed with available safety and security features that help to deliver your precious cargo safely from one destination to the next,” asserted Olivier Francois, President and CEO – Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Together, let’s pledge to keep our eyes on the road and our hands on the wheel by promising not to text while driving.”
By subscribing to a paid upgrade of Txt U L8r, users will be able to send replies with the help of voice commands. The sponsor, Chrysler Group LLC intends to promote safer driving behaviors with this software. Thus, it ensures that its employees download the Txt U L8r application on their company-given communication devices.
