iOnRoad Augmented Driving for Android ensures you aren't getting too close to the cars in front and encourages you to collect points to compete against other drivers. It's free to download. A new in-car app for Android phones could help you avoid accidents by monitoring your distance from the cars in front and estimating your required stopping time if the unfortunate should happen. The free iOnRoad (eye-on-road, geddit?)

The application relies on the smartphone’s camera and sensors to detect vehicles in front of the vehicle, alerting drivers when they are in danger — iPhone can handle that part alone. The problem is when you run iOnRoad in the background, when for instance you also use a navigation application – that’s something that will turn off iOnRoad on the iPhone. And that’s the way Picitup envisioned its app to work, mapping objects in front of the driver in real-time and calculating the user’s current speed, while running in the background (so you can use a standard navigation app). Then as the vehicle approaches danger, an audio-visual warning Read More
