Openroad: Help in a Car Crash

Cambridge Mobile Telematics

About this app

“I was driving early in the morning with members of my family. I was following the speed limit. Suddenly there was freezing rain and my car started spinning out of control. Before I even realized what happened, I got a call from an Openroad agent, who promptly dispatched emergency services to the scene.” — Bhupen J, Iowa

Ratings and reviews

First, thanks for this great app! However, there is an issue with the 'ratings' it does on your driving. Living out in the country, it's very common to have to stop abruptly due to animals on the road. The app registers this as your driving is bad in the weekly report. I just ignore this about the app and feel confident in knowing that the app is protecting me. *Would you please add a "panic" option to quietly call 4 help and send your location in the same process as this app?*

The access to phone permissions is concerning. Yeah feedback on your driving is great but what's to prevent the app data from being used against you in an accident? Nothing in the FAQ spells that out and without phone permissions the app doesn't work. Does using Android Auto show as using your phone? I'd rather use an app that isn't so intrusive.

It's a good idea but pretty vague on how to use it. The first trip I took I received a response telling me that my first trip was monitored but that's it. I've since gone out on a few other trips but when I check the weekly stats it says 0 trips logged?! The app icon just sits on the top of my phone and when I pull down the drop down menu on my phone the app shows up as "openroad is standing by tap to launch" but when I do this it just brings me to the full app and shows active but that's it!
