Gear Giveaway Winners: EconoDriver and SafeDriver

Posted on 02 September 2010 by



Lemur Monitors recently released a trio of auto monitoring solutions that are designed to “empower consumers with additional insight into their vehicles’ operation”. The new tools are, the EconoDriver, which “increases awareness of fuel consumption and inefficient driving” and the SafeDriver and AlertDriver which both ensure that “your car is driven with caution and care”.

All of them are useful for anyone who owns an automobile but may be particularly attractive for parents whose kids are on the road, especially with school starting shortly. Well e have two of them to give away so read on for details… and for how to enter and win!

EconoDriver

EconoDriver helps you drive smarter and more economically by relaying real-time fuel economy to understand how efficiently you are driving. You can even program in the current cost of gas and it will indicate how much money you are spending as you drive and how much you are wasting while idling.

SafeDriver–

SafeDriver provides peace of mind to parents that are getting ready to hand over the keys to their inexperienced teen driver for the first time. From the moment your teen backs out of the driveway SafeDriver will record real-time information of your teen’s driving habits including maximum speed, distance t raveled, and any sudden brakes. If the sensor is removed from the vehicle, the battery removed from the key fob, or someone tries to guess your secret PIN, the LCD will show “Tamper.” A brief video demo can be found here.

One of the neat things about all three products is that while all access your car’s statistic there is no professional installation required. Instead, they quickly install by plugging the supplied sensor into the vehicle’s Data Port. From there the sensor wirelessly relays the pertinent information to the display on the pocket-sized key fob with no additional tools or computer connection.

Lemur Monitors products are currently available at Brookstone and The Sharper Image. EconoDriver is available for $79.95 and SafeDriver for $69.95. For more information visit www.lemurmonitors.com.

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. +Dan Cohen
