New Applications NOW Available
Here at Autonet we're excited to be releasing three new applications this week for our CarFi™;
Find My Car - One thing I always hated about Lo-Jack was that it required me to file a police report and report my car stolen before they would locate my car. And then they would only tell the police and not me. Half the time, I'm just looking for it in the parking lot! With Autonet's Find My car, you log into our website and see where your car is whenever you want.
Geo Fencing - With Geo Fencing you can draw virtual fences on a map and then get alerts when your car goes in or out of one of these fences. This is a great way to make sure your car is only going to the places that you expect it to.
Content Filtering - Block objectionable content by category or by specific sites. This one is mostly geared towards the School buses and school districts. The federal Children's Internet Protection Act requires school districts that receive federal funding to comply with Internet Filtering, so this takes care of it for them.
CarFi™ was designed to support applications like this and many others, so that's why were able to offer these new services at such a lower price than others. Just go to our My Autonet web page to sign up.
Think of CarFi™ as the next generation communications platform for your car. We started with WiFi, but we're capable of so much more and we're going to be releasing new applications over the next several months for CarFi™. Our early days were really focused around providing reliable IP connectivity to the vehicle and now that we've done that we're developing applications and services that can be layered on top of that.
If you've got ideas for other applications that you'd like for your car, please let us know.
