The Zubie Key

There are many bad drivers out there, and they need to learn how not be as a bad as they currently are. Don't you agree? Well, we now have a gadget that will not only make us better drivers, but also keep track of your cars condition. The Zubie key and accompanying smartphone app for it are able to track the diagnostics of your car, as well as trip data. Additionally, it can help you figure out how much the repairs on the car would cost if there are problems that it detects. The Zubie key can tell you your vehicles current location, trip history, and events such as hard breaking, rapid acceleration, or for when your kid makes his or her first drive). Not only does the Zubie track your trips, but it also sends you alerts to your smartphone when it needs any type of repair.

To make people better drivers, the Zubie Key gives you a score, which you can improve upon. The score is derived from metrics such as acceleration, speeding, hard braking, and others. Additionally, the great thing about the Zubie Key is that it gets smarter as you use it, because it can learn your habits and give you advice on becoming an overall better and safer driver.

The Zubie Key, which retails for $100, offers other services such as Onstar, albeit at an additional cost added on to the retail price. The Zubie separates itself from the competition through its cellular connectivity capability, meaning that it does not need to be manually plugged in to a computer to get the data and analysis that you want. You can seamlessly get the data when the key sends the data to the Zubie app on your smartphone.

In terms of the impact that this will have on the consumers and society, I believe that this is a great step forward in terms of being able to monitor your car better. There are so many instances where people get a light that comes up on the dashboard, and they have no idea what it means. And when we do not know what it means, we have to look in the car manual. So, in effect, the Zubie Key solves numerous problems for drivers. It lessens the frustrations that drivers all across the country encounter on a daily basis. It takes out steps and makes things simpler, which is what we all want. So watch out for the Zubie key, because it just might be a home run in the consumer market.
