Product Inspiration

Until recently, remote GPS tracking systems have only been able to send the location, speed, and direction of a vehicle through wireless networks. Onstar has pioneered some improvements to such systems by offering the ability to unlock vehicles and turn them off when they are stolen.

The system pictured above takes it to the next step on a few different levels. The additional services include driver identification and sobriety testing, speeding detection, remote locking, and light/horn control. Although products like this may conjure up thoughts of Big Brother, the potential savings to companies through reduced accidents and theft will continue to create a demand for remote monitoring and control of any costly company property.
