Car technology evolves very quickly: safety, speed, comfort.
And how about communica>on between users of the roads?
Language of the drivers is STILL on the level of a cooing infant.
As drivers we can shout…
Simply communicate our presence on the road‌
Or try to express ourselves using gestures‌
OUR ASSUMPTION: Allowing drivers (and other traffic par>cipants) to talk will INCREASE SAFETY on the roads. So… let’s TALK!
IDEA AUTOCHAT - ďŹ rst communicator en>rely focused on drivers and users of the roads. It allows drivers to communicate while driving.
AUTOCHAT cooperates with naviga>on app
AUTOCHAT recognizes plates of the car in front of you itself
AUTOCHAT is handsfree - voice ac>va>on/voice generator
AUTOCHAT is anonymous.
The system is built as a mockup pla[orm right now – www.autochat.no
AUTOCHAT is a ďŹ rst communicator en>rely focused on drivers and users of the roads. It allows drivers to send messages to each other.
You only need to know the registra>on number of the receiver.
WHEN TO USE AUTOCHAT.NO
When someone blocked exit from you parking. Nobody is in the car. The only chance to make this person come and move the car is to send him/her informa>on via AUTOCHAT app.
When someone entered your lane without giving a sign.
When you see an accident and can be a witness but have no >me on your way to work. You can send a message to the vic>m of the accident and tes>fy a^erwards.
AUTOCHAT increases safety. Drivers and other users of the road may warn each other through group communica>on.
AUTOCHAT may become useful communica>on tool for municipali>es, authori>es (kommune, oentlige) allowing to communicate to drivers from par>cular area about road issues.
When somebody does not use lights when it rains.
