A Social Network for the Road
ESCORT
ESCORT wanted to create a social, cloud-based driver alert system by integrating the iPhone and Android into its suite of in-car radar detectors.
Objectives
- Share real-time information from drivers across the nation
- Integrate with over a million active ESCORT radar detectors
- Build a proprietary database of driving information
- Create a driver-friendly mobile interface
“Mutual Mobile didn’t just create an application, but worked directly with us to integrate the power of mobile real-time connectivity and the power of the cloud into more than a million compatible ESCORT and Beltronics models out on the road today.”
Machine-to-Mobile Integration
We built a custom Bluetooth accessory for ESCORT devices that pushes data to the cloud via the driver’s smartphone. By collecting real-time driving data from around the country, we created a live network of shared threat alerts for a whole new level of protection.
