Hands-On Review: Automatic, a Nanny For Your Car

September 15, 2013 By Stephen 1 Comment

Hands-On Review: Automatic, a Nanny For Your Car

Automatic is a cool idea: Monitor your car and your driving using a Bluetooth dongle plugged into the diagnostic port found on every recent car. But the service itself is frustratingly limited, a dunce driving nanny rather than a useful tool.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting…
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim…
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you…
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.

Rudyard Kipling
