partnership to integrate location technologies to deliver solution that helps prevent distracted driving and compliment safe driving laws
ZoomSafer Announces Partnership
with Five Mobile
Innovative Mobile Software Prevents Distracted Driving
and
Uniquely Compliments Safe Driving Laws
Reston, Virginia – July 1, 2009 – ZoomSafer, an
innovative provider of mobile software and services to prevent distracted driving, has partnered
with Five Mobile of Toronto, Canada to
develop custom software for multiple smart-phone
platforms as well as a web-based user registration and management
portal.
“Five Mobile is the perfect software development partner to
help us prevent distracted driving,” says Michael Riemer, Co-Founder and CEO of
ZoomSafer. “Not only do they have deep experience across a full range of
smart-phone platforms, but they have a deeply practical approach to building
applications that people will actually use in the real world.”
Based on the ZoomSafer patented design, the development
effort will uniquely integrate multiple technologies including location services, call
management, voice services, and social media in the context of a users driving
experience.
"ZoomSafer is an incredibly compelling and timely
application. The need is obvious to anyone and everyone who has a phone and
drives a car. We’re looking forward to partnering with ZoomSafer in support of
this important and ground breaking effort,” says Ameet Shah, Co-Founder, Five
Mobile Inc.
Distracted driving is an increasingly dangerous epidemic with
current studies showing that texting while driving is more
dangerous than drunk driving. In response to these disturbing trends US and Canadian legislators are moving quickly to pass new safe driving laws.
“Although legislation is an important component of any
solution, laws alone are not the answer,” added Mr. Riemer. “At ZoomSafer we’re
dedicated to preventing distracted driving by delivering solutions that people
will use, not because they have to, but because they want to.”
