LifeSaver Mobile helps companies prevent employee phone use while driving by automatically detecting drives and blocking cell phones, with no beacons or dongles. Cell phone related distracted driving is an epidemic responsible for over 25% of U.S. auto collisions and over $33 billion annually in insurance claims. Our data driven solution has been validated by agents from a top 10 auto insurer and by millions of miles of consumer driving. We were recently featured in the Washington Post and NY Times among other media mentions. Our solution is unique because it not only reduces distracted driving, but it also provides a connected driver platform using only the mobile device. With these dual benefits, LifeSaver is a great fit for auto insurers and fleet operators looking to reduce their claims and exposure from this growing problem.
