RayGo Controller - Created To Aid Distracted Driving
Distractions while driving has become a significant issue, mainly with people wielding
their cellphones.
Most of us deem drunk driving to be an unsafe habit, but texting while driving is just
as unsafe if not more.
As opposed to waiting, people in spite of everything continue to use their smart
phones when driving on a day to day basis.
A lot of businesses have tried to find solutions to this present dilemma in the form
of apps.
Project Ray has now come out with an app and device that they believe is a better
resolution to cut back on distracted driving caused by cell phone usage.
RayGo Will Help To Lessen Distracted Driving
Project Ray in the beginning created an item for people that are visually impaired to have
the ability to operate cellphones.
They subsequently discovered that it had more uses, notably for
drivers.
Project Ray after that launched RayGo.
RayGo includes an app in addition to a controller for cellphones.
By using them together, you'll never have to look at your mobile phone any more.
The RayGo mechanism is a controller that is mounted directly to your steering wheel that
communicates by the use of Bluetooth for the RayGo Application.
The controller consists of a simple five button layout.
The key arrangement is extremely intuitive, to help you monitor your handset without needing to look at
the device.
RayGo is also able to tell when you start driving and then engages “DriveMode”.
“DriveMode” allows the RayGo to recite your messages from several common
applications, in addition to email and text messages.
It's also possible to answer these messages by means of a simple response that lets
them know you're driving and will call them back, or you may record a voice message.
When using the device along with the application paired up in sync, it is possible to
manage your cellular phone while keeping your eyes on the road.
RayGo Monitors Your Driving To Help You Avoid Distractions
The RayGo application will monitor your driving.
It'll even pause the playback of a message as it adapts to your driving.
Just to illustrate, as you make a turn, if a message is being read aloud, it is going to
break for a moment and then start back up when you are done with your turn.
Therefore it is possible to keep your eyes on the road rather than the
message.
In addition to their distracted driving solution meant for drivers, RayGo is planning on creating a simple controller designed for
people that ride bikes.
So for those who like riding their bikes that don’t have quick access to their smart phone can do so with the simple RayGo controller.
The device is expect to be released in October 2015, and right now Android is the only kind of cellphone which has support for
the RayGo app.
Also, iPhones are expected to be supported sometime soon.
Even with competition from other organizations with their safe driving apps,
RayGo claims to be the only one that is completely eyes-free.
In spite of everything, people continue to handle their cellphones while driving, but
the RayGo Device might aid many drivers to reduce their distracted driving.
