From Automatic:
Today we’re excited to unveil Automatic Pro, our ground-up redesigned connected car adapter and app. It has dedicated 3G service to make sure your car is always connected. And uniquely from Automatic, there are zero fees to use it. No 3G subscription fee, no Crash Alert fee, nothin’. The whole thing is now available for just $129.95.
Your Car: Always Connected
With Automatic Pro’s cellular connection, you’ll always know where your car is, even if you’re not with it. You’ll know when your spouse is on their way home, if your teenager took a wrong turn at the gas station and ended up in Timbuktu, or if your roommate is out joyriding — you can just open the app and see where the car is, in real time. You’ll even get notifications when the car starts or parks, so you always know what’s happening.
With your car always connected, you can see where you parked, and track your car’s trips without having to fuss with your Bluetooth settings. Most importantly, you’ll feel secure knowing you and your family are being kept safe.
Safety for everyone
We have always felt that every car should have Crash Alert. When we first launched Automatic, it was one of our core features. However, it didn’t work if the Automatic user wasn’t in the car with their phone. We aimed to do better, and believe we now have.
With Automatic Pro, Crash Alert just works. As long as Automatic Pro can get a cellular signal, and regardless of who is in the car, Crash Alert is watching out. If your kids borrow the car for a weekend, they’re still protected in case of a serious accident, no matter where you are.
Automations for the people
Last year, we launched our App Gallery. We gave our users access to dozens of apps that connected their cars to the rest of their digital life. By far the most popular were the integrations offered by our friends at IFTTT.
We’re making those integrations even easier and more seamless. Now IFTTT integrations are built right into the Automatic Pro app. You can send your trips directly to a Google Sheet, send a text to someone when you leave work, post to Slack when you arrive, and more.
Better living through data
Here at Automatic, we occasionally send out updates to our users showcasing our data science work. These insights are enormously popular with our users, and if you haven’t seen any yet, you should check out your own at Dashboard Labs.
Today we’re launching with the first of many data science insights. As with the rest of Automatic Pro, these are about your car’s overall usage. Learn about your driving style and how aggressive your car is driven compared to the rest of the Automatic community right within the Automatic Pro app.
