ZoomSafer Continues Bold Moves to Prevent Distracted Driving

RESTON, Va. July 13, 2009; ZoomSafer demonstrated its alpha software today at the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) National Conference and showed for the first time how it’s patented solution uniquely minimizes driving distractions stemming from the use of cell phones.

The demonstration was conducted using a Blackberry Bold handset and highlighted how ZoomSafer software will automatically detect when users are driving, triggering a set of user defined events, and activating several services, including:

• The playing of a customizable audio file – from spouse, child, employer or favorite celebrity -- reminding the user to “be safe and focus on the road”
• Auto-updates to social networks including Facebook and Twitter (including the option to share location) so friends, family and co-workers know that the user is driving and are less likely to interrupt
• Automatic suppression of inbound alerts and issuance of auto-replies to calls, texts, and emails to inform others that the user is focused while driving and will respond when available
• Personalized audio announcements of select callers so the user does not have to look at their phone to see who is calling
• Voice safety portal so users can create/send voice-powered emails, text messages, and Tweets as well as listen to audio-enabled, personalized content feeds including blogs, RSS, Twitter posts, etc.

“To succeed in our efforts to minimize distracted driving, we must create software that is fun and easy to use and that reflects the reality of modern, hyper-connected lifestyles,” said Mike Riemer, CEO of ZoomSafer. “We’ve shown today how it’s possible to prevent distracted driving by delivering innovative solutions that people will use every day, not because they have to, but because they want to.”

ZoomSafer also released today “Five Friends Prevent Distracted Driving”, a short film to help raise public awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and generate advance registrants for the company’s beta scheduled for August.
