If you find yourself easily distracted by your smartphone while driving, it might be time to try RiVE, which is specifically designed to provide you with distraction-free driving and eliminates the problem of texting while driving.
The campaign for RiVE has launched on Kickstarter this week to raise the $25,000 the development team needs to move into production.
RiVE integrates simple hardware and software into a single system, making it the only product that eliminates both the temptation and the ability to use a mobile device while driving. Its sleek hardware eliminates the driver’s physical interaction with the phone. Simply attach it to your dashboard and a clip blocks the home button on your screen, preventing you from checking your phone.
Meanwhile, the app’s software blocks messages and all other notifications from arriving while the vehicle is in motion. Senders receive a customizable auto-reply, letting them know that the recipient is driving and will be notified of their message once the car is parked. At the same time, RiVE allows the driver to receive phone calls and stay connected to their phone’s GPS and entertainment services (music, podcasts, etc.).
RiVE is unique in offering effective safety protocols without excessive burden and intrusive restrictions (e.g. blocking all phones in the car, requiring a complicated installation on the dashboard, or tracking the vehicle's location). It is as easy to install as a seat belt and as easy to use as your phone charger.
