Product Features
Believe it or not, teens are not necessarily bad drivers—but they are inexperienced drivers. tiwi™ helps bridge the experience gap to instill confidence and build good driving habits.
Most serious injuries and fatalities are caused by three main unsafe behaviors: 1) speeding 2) not wearing a seatbelt and 3) aggressive driving behavior such as hard braking, turning and accelerating.
Since you can’t always be there, tiwi™ mentors teen drivers in real-time by verbally telling them to slow down when they are speeding, buckle up when not wearing their seatbelt and to stop driving aggressively.
Meanwhile, you can stay as aware of your young driver's current location, actions and driving performance as you want to be through text, voicemail or email. Then, all driving information is reported on a web portal for later review and discussion between you and your teen.
The tiwi system combines hardware, software and communication features to provide a comprehensive safety solution:
In-car Device:
Most teen accidents happen when a young driver was speeding. But tiwi's breakthrough Speed-by-Street™ technology compares the vehicle speed to the posted speed limit to help stop speeding before it becomes a real danger.
In 41% of fatal crashes, teen drivers were not wearing seat belts. The unique proactive, audio-based warning system of tiwi is a proven solution to this problem.
Cutting-edge Communication:
tiwi enables parents to receive instant notifications by e-mail, phone or text message based on the parameters and alerts you set. So, you can always be there for your teen!
An emergency operator is never more than a push of a button away from the driver through tiwi's e-Call feature. Plus you can call directly to the in-car unit to speak to your teen.
Web Portal:
Real-time safety finally meets real-world practicality. Complete with tiwi's easy-to-use, web-based dashboard that makes it simple to have constant control and peace of mind.
Another feature from tiwi, giving you the freedom to create customized geographic zones so you know the second your teen arrives or leaves school, home or anywhere else.
You decide how much flexibility there is in the system for your child (can they go 5 miles faster than the speed limit). Also, to build confidence and skills, the driver is given a grace period to correct their behavior before the system alerts parents.
Young drivers can receive report cards with letter grades that reflect driver behavior. Your teen will gain confidence in their skills when they can clearly see and feel their progress.
