SureDrive 2.0 builds on a core set of Tripwire™ early warning and arrival alert features to offer a set of new services designed with driver safety in mind, including:
- Crash Support — receive more detailed CrashBoxx instant crash alert information including crash location, severity and collision details; a report sequence ensures serious crashes receive appropriate on-site assistance from emergency responders
- Speed Alerts – set a speed threshold on the app and any user can receive notifications when a vehicle exceeds that speed limit
- Multi-Vehicle Tracking — view all vehicle activity within the family and easily toggle between vehicles using a more streamlined interface
- Trip History – review past trips, locations, speed and miles traveled on any vehicle in the account
The SureDrive 2.0 app can be combined with LoJack’s next generation of SVR technology enabling law enforcement agencies to recover stolen vehicles nationwide.
