Singtel, AXA launch safe driving smart car service

Singtel has collaborated with AXA Insurance to launch a joint smart car solution aimed at promoting better and safer driving habits.

The joint solution comprises a Modus smart car device synchronized with a cloud-based smart car application over Singtel’s mobile networks. It analyzes driving patterns through a vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) port.

Features include driver analysis covering areas such as breaking, acceleration and speed, real-time location monitoring to make it easier for users to find their car and trip history, and provide driving scores based on analysis of this data.

The solution can also monitor engine health information and provide scheduled maintenance reminders, and provide alerts for speed and mileage limits and geo-fence boundaries.

To promote the new solution, Singtel and AXA are offering a year worth of free AXA car insurance to the safest driver in Singapore using the solution. Drivers will need to travel at least 3,000km during the contest period.

“The smart car solution is yet another innovative service that we are bringing to our customers, following the successful launch of Singtel SmartHome,” Singtel CEO consumer Singapore Yuen Kuan Moon said.

“Now, our customers can enjoy an integrated connected lifestyle both in and out of the home. The solution will allow car lovers to track their driving habits and empower them to have a smarter drive.”
