About this app

Driver offers a fully connected driving experience through our Cloud + App platform, covering liability protection, roadside services, claims assistance, driver education, legal and vehicle support, partner deals, and more. The Driver App is available on both Android Automotive and mobile devices.

The Driver App has two primary modes for liability protection: 1) Telematics 2) Dash Cam. On Android Automotive, Driver automatically collects precise Telematics data directly from your vehicle, e.g. mileage, location, speed, G-force, etc. Pair your trip’s vehicle data with video recordings by using the Driver App on your mobile device, which turns your phone into a dash cam.

Both Telematics and Dash Cam are automatically uploaded to the Driver Cloud for easy viewing and management across any browser or mobile device. Sharing a trip with your insurance, boss, or family is as easy as sending a URL link to your trip on the Driver Cloud.

Ratings and reviews

This is a great app, easy to both use and understand. The only complaint I would have is that there needs to be an option to store drives externally, whether on an SD card or other external storage device. Otherwise it takes up too much internal space and your constantly having to delete drives on every 3rd-4th drive.

Installed today, uninstalling soon... The app requests permissions that aren't described, nor was I offered in settings to adjust desired functionality. While it offers a choice of approximate or precise location, it won't let you begin unless you select precise! This is because your driving style is monitored and shared with insurers! In any case, using it cause rapid battery drain and rapid heating up of my phone. Cool functionality is none of the rest matters to you.

Haven't used for a drive but no need - It crashes / closes every few moments without any certain reason or explanation. I was only trying to adjust settings and hadn't even began recording. Droidcam has been my go-to for the last year but wanted to venture out - Honestly, I think I'll stick with Droidcam. WAY more setting options. Also free. If storage is an issue for you BTW, I use Dropbox. $9.99/month for 2,000GB of space on the cloud. Hope this helps
