RayGo is a new device and app created by Project Ray to reduce distracted driving caused by cellphone use. The RayGo controller mounts to the steering wheel and uses Bluetooth to connect to the RayGo app. It has five buttons that allow the user to interact with their phone without looking away from the road. When connected, the app can read and respond to messages aloud, pausing when the driver turns. The goal is to provide a completely eyes-free experience to help keep drivers' attention on the road.
3. Most of us deem drunk driving to be an
unsafe habit, but texting while driving is just
as unsafe if not more.
4. As opposed to waiting, people in spite of
everything continue to use their smart
phones when driving on a day to day basis.
5. A lot of businesses have tried to find
solutions to this present dilemma in the form
of apps.
6. Project Ray has now come out with an app
and device that they believe is a better
resolution to cut back on distracted driving
caused by cell phone usage.
12. By using them together, you'll never have to
look at your mobile phone any more.
13. The RayGo mechanism is a controller that is
mounted directly to your steering wheel that
communicates by the use of Bluetooth for
the RayGo Application.
15. The key arrangement is
extremely intuitive, to help
you monitor your handset
without needing to look at
the device.
16. RayGo is also able to tell when you start
driving and then engages “DriveMode”.
17. “DriveMode” allows the RayGo to recite
your messages from several common
applications, in addition to email and text
messages.
18. It's also possible to answer these messages
by means of a simple response that lets
them know you're driving and will call them
back, or you may record a voice message.
19. When using the device along with the
application paired up in sync, it is possible to
manage your cellular phone while keeping
your eyes on the road.
22. It'll even pause the playback of a message as
it adapts to your driving.
23. Just to illustrate, as you make a turn, if a
message is being read aloud, it is going to
break for a moment and then start back up
when you are done with your turn.
24. Therefore it is possible to
keep your eyes on the
road rather than the
message.
25. In addition to their distracted driving
solution meant for drivers, RayGo is planning
on creating a simple controller designed for
people that ride bikes.
26. So for those who like riding their bikes that
don’t have quick access to their smart phone
can do so with the simple RayGo controller.
27. The device is expect to be released in
October 2015, and right now Android is the
only kind of cellphone which has support for
the RayGo app.
29. Even with competition from other
organizations with their safe driving apps,
RayGo claims to be the only one that is
completely eyes-free.
30. In spite of everything, people continue to
handle their cellphones while driving, but
the RayGo Device might aid many drivers to
reduce their distracted driving.
