Drivemode has developed a new, smartphone-based connected car platform which allows any driver with a smartphone to control key apps and functions of their phone safely and efficiently while behind the wheel. The Drivemode Android App was released at the end of July 2015, and has quickly become the largest connected car platform with tremendous amount of driving data to date.

There are 1.3 billion cars out there, and when we are talking about "connected cars" or "self-driving cars" we are talking about 3% of the market by 2020. 97% of us are stuck with outdated technologies - but we want to innovate how the automotive industry works. Make driving more fun, productive, smart and safe.

This rapid growth, ability to engage users, and deep knowledge of driver behavior has attracted various key players in the connected car ecosystem to further bolster our position as an emerging platform. Drivemode is currently working with various connected car players and automakers as seen on various media outlets such as TIME, TechCrunch, Business Insider, LifeHacker and The Verge among many others.
