We
take driving seriously so we invested our own
money to bring about what we knew will be a
truly safer way to interact with the car and the
electronic gadgets, and will not be another a
gimmicky electronic toy that will add to the
problem because of improper understanding of the
problem. I first encountered driving
distraction by technology in 1989.
Unfortunately, I accepted that as a matter of
fact and went about getting distracted through
1993 until I had enough. I stopped playing
the helpless and went back to 1985 and revived a
school project and started the refinement until
I had something that works
We are working on our mass production design
that will be available
early 2013.

FAQ
•
Is the
system Hand Free?
A-Yes, but that’s only a part of the system and
not just Hands Free. The system comes under
"Active Safety Systems". Unlike ear pieces
and Hand Free speakers, the system monitors real
time conditions to determine if it is safe to
receive a call and help the driver make their
calls with ease. No errors, No
frustration, just good, safe utilitarian system.
• How does your system compare
to Bluetooth® ?
A-Bluetooth® is not a safety technology. It can
be replaced with simple cable.
• But I heard that Hand Free is
not safer then hand held!
A-We disagree and so do many scientists. Drivers
experience behind the wheel can be categorized
as Cognitive Exercise and Motor Skill Reaction.
Thus we believe that Hand Free devices still
maintain advantage over hand held devices
because the driver motor skills are still free
to deal with emergencies. NHTSA sponsored
Virginia Tech showed that "TRUE" Hand Free
devices are safer then Hand Held Devices.
• But scientific measurement
show that the driver is distracted while
talking!
A-The results are correct, but the experiments
and the context are faulty. Using an earpiece to
represent Hands Free still causes cognitive
workload so the Results appear to be the same.
Our system gets around the causes of distraction
noted in those experiments by implementing
creative HMI solutions that eliminate the known
causes for the effect of the conversation. -
Independent research by others institutions
(NHTSA-Virginia Tech Study) shows that what we
proposed as a solution is effective is resolving
the concerns showing up in others experiments.
• What’s the Auto industry
opinion about your solution?
A-Impressed but no commitment. Some companies
began to implement our various IP, but the
implementation is still crude and results in
restrictive “One Solution Fits All”. All major
companies already proved our system and
constructed test vehicles using our Intellectual
Property, but no production versions yet.
• Why
didn’t the automotive industry implement such a
system
A-The industry requires
long lead time to implement new technology. Also
Industry can not risk attaching new technology
to costly vehicles without regulatory cover
(similar to EU and US mandates on Stability
Systems). and "certain" market demand.
Regulation will help make the implementation
possible. DOT Secretary LaHood have made
the issue a top administration priority and his
vigorous campaigning
• What
do legislators say about your solution?
A-The once who know of it are impressed
and we are still working on promotion and
education.
• What
about insurance companies?
A-Impressed, want to see a
production device for evaluation. Some insurance
companies gives 5% to 40% discount for devices
that only track cars, but does not have active
distraction prevention. We believe our
device will achieve at least the same acceptance
and advantages.
• What
do consumers say about your solution?
A-88% believe it is safer than everything
else on the road (OnStar® and imitators ,and
Sync®) -60% believe the product is cooler then
Ford Sync® -87% are willing to purchase the
product or order it on a new vehicle -All
parents want it for their young drivers safety
and their peace of mind.
• My
Question is not here, can I ask it anyway?
A-E-mail us your questions about our
device, about driver distraction or about
driving safely in general and we will respond
and post your question and the answer

FAQ at iQ-Telematics DOT Com
What do we do?
iQ-TelematicsTM
provides the tools that makes it possible
for drivers to enjoy connectivity in safer
manner than what is offered by Automotive OEM,
Telecom and Telematics service and hardware
providers. The system provides anxiety
free interfacewith guaranteed Eyes On The Road and
Hands On The Wheel to eliminate driver
distraction due to manual texting, cell phone
calls, e-mailing and browsing.
Our technologies are Patented and Patent pending
in the U.S. and EU. They are the results of more
than two decades Real World Observation
(Naturalistic Driving). They are formulated to
allow connectivity to cell phone voice
communication, texting, e-mail and access to the
web, (but not web browsing).
The difference between our technology and the
"Ad hoc" way drivers access these connectivity
means, is that we structure the experience to
assure Convenience and a Common Sense approach
that will avoid the known causes of in-vehicle
or nomadic technologies.
The difference between our technology and the
way automotive is that we are not aiming for
providing the devices and services, but we aim
to make the devices, the services, the drivers,
the car to work together seamlessly to provide
moderated connectivity and driving under strict
safety rules extracted from real world
historical facts.
Our Technologies will sense a danger and stop
phones before the interrupt the driver. Our
Technologies can guarantee that the drivers
hands are on the wheel and not doing anything
else while talking on the phone or when
listening to e-mail. There is nothing like what
we offer out there and expert that looked at our
prototypes proclaimed it as meet or exceed
existing "guide lines" from multiple regulatory
and authoritative sources. Certification will be
published once completed.
Our Offering is geared toward the most effected
groups in the driver distraction problem.
Starting with the individual driver up to the
largest Commercial and Governmental fleets.
We are working on our mass production design
that will be available in early 2013.
