Do you often forget where you have parked your car? If you
do, you can try the AwareCar, this device is basically a car tracker that can
help you to find your car easily.
AwareCar has a shape like a shirt button, with a diameter of
36 mm and a thickness of 6 mm. AwareCar brings Bluetooth 4.0 chip so that it
can be connected to smartphone without draining the battery power excessively.
AwareCar works in an easy way, you just need to keep it in
the car glove box after connecting it with your smartphone (Android or iOS).
Every time you leave the car, the AwareCar will take data that's collected by
smartphone's sensors, ranging from the GPS to a barometer to measure the level
of height.
This means that the AwareCar not only can record the point
where your car is parked, but it can also recognize the stair where you park
the car. The best part is all it runs automatically without any intervention
from the user, as long as the battery still has power, it can still track your
car. But don't worry, AwareCar's battery is claimed can last more than a year.
When you forget where the car is parked, you just need to
open the AwareCar's companion application on the smartphone. There will be
shown all the information related to the car's location, and when you've
approached the car, the AwareCar application will open Google Maps
automatically so that you can find the car easily.
Because relying on the communication with smartphone,
AwareCar can be used with any car you have. If you are interested, you can
order it on Kickstarter for $ 9 during the early-bird.
