OtoZen: Improving Driver Safety with Ease

Krishna Kalidindi, Founder & CEO

Driving can be a thrilling experience, but it can also be a challenging one for inexperienced drivers who face different driving situations. It's not uncommon for them to struggle due to their lack of experience, skills, or knowledge. Various modes of proactive learning can provide auditory inputs, alerts, or voice communication to bridge that gap and help drivers of all ages and experience be safe and confident while driving.

OtoZen, a driving assistant app, offers such a powerful solution that makes driving safer and more connected. With features such as feedback on driving safety, alerts for speeding, and mechanisms to reduce risky behavior, the OtoZen app helps drivers of all ages and experience levels develop better habits and improve their safety on the road. It also provides emergency help during accidents, live location sharing with families, and driving guidance, ensuring the safety of experienced drivers.

Krishna Kalidindi, the founder, and CEO of OtoZen says, "Our mission is to ensure a safe and secure driving experience for everyone by providing them with a practical solution for real-time assistance and preventing distracted driving behavior while maintaining a high driving score.”
To ensure accuracy, the app efficiently runs its solution by utilizing a combination of accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS, and audio technology, as well as the processing power available in the user's phone. It employs a set of algorithms that correct GPS errors and facilitate real-time snapping. Additionally, the app incorporates machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect crashes in real-time. Users can also avoid speeding by receiving information about local speed limits through the app.

The OtoZen app offers four main features to assist users: driver safety, live location, ETA and nearby notifications, automatic crash response and voice messages, and pickup notifications. It ensures the safety of all drivers, both new and experienced, by providing a simple beep warning via the phone speakers whenever the driver exceeds the permissible speed limit. This not only prevents risky behavior but trains the driver's mind to prevent danger and build better habits in the long term. In addition, users can receive automatic location updates on their family members, eliminating the need for constant monitoring and reducing distractions for parents.

In the event of an accident, OtoZen's certified dispatchers in its 24/7 monitoring centers notify local emergency services of the precise location and remain on the line until help arrives. The app also enables drivers to receive and send pickup notifications, audio messages, and reminders without having to open their cell phones, making it a truly hands-free solution.
To monitor the progress of new drivers and ensure that they are following the alerts, OtoZen provides a driver report card that tracks driving scores and shows weekly progress, providing valuable insights into a driver's behavior on the road. OtoZen also tackles the issue of personal data being hacked, by encrypting user data for safety and security and giving privacy controls to every user. The driver's location is only tracked while actively using OtoZen, and all data is stored on the phone, ensuring that only the user has access to sensitive information. Additionally, the data shared within OtoZen's servers is never sold to advertisers or insurance companies.
