DriveSync to Power California State Automobile Association Pilot Program; Pilot to Promote On-Road Safety and Improved Driving Habits



    Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. (IMS), a world
    leader in telematics systems, is pleased to announce the selection of
    DriveSync(TM) for a driving safety pilot program by the California
    State Automobile Association (CSAA). CSAA is the AAA affiliate for
    Northern California, Nevada and Utah.
    DriveSync(TM) is a GPS vehicle tracking system that securely
    tracks vehicle location including the route, mileage and speeds of
    each trip. As a complete turn-key solution, IMS manages all aspects of
    driving data collection, storage, consolidation and reporting using
    fraud-prevention technology and military grade data encryption to
    ensure customer confidentiality. However the most beneficial feature
    of DriveSync(TM) is its consumer-centric reports; turn-by-turn trip
    logs, color-coded route maps and driving statistic reports provide
    drivers with a clear picture of driving behavior and habits.
    CSAA's pilot program will focus on leveraging DriveSync(TM) to
    increase the value of AAA membership for itself and other AAA
    partners, including AAA Arizona, AAA Oklahoma and AAA MountainWest.
    Rapid vehicle location for roadside assistance and driver safety
    improvement are some of the areas that will be researched.
    "DriveSync(TM) reports provide a powerful educational tool for any
    driver wanting to improve their driving habits. In this regard, our
    DriveSync(TM) pilot is a natural extension of the many services we
    offer our members," says Mike Bregante, senior vice president of
    automotive services for CSAA.
    "CSAA is well known for their leadership in automotive safety and
    security", says John Reynolds, Vice President of Business Development
    at IMS. "This pilot program builds upon that reputation, and
    highlights the unique benefits DriveSync(TM) provides to drivers."
    The pilot program is expected to launch this summer.
