Oregon has begun using a pay by the mile surveillance program called "OReGo"
Volunteers will get a credit on their bill to offset the fuel tax they pay at the pump.
Volunteers’ personal information will be kept secure and private.
What is OReGO? It's a TRACKING device!
Excerpt from Azuga's website:
"Our software and hardware products are designed to collect data from vehicles and we translate that into useful information to increase driver safety and awareness."
Azuga’s Driver Scorecard allows drivers to earn points and badges for good driving behavior. With this feature, every trip you take is rated in four categories:
Mileage – Shorter trips mean fewer miles out on the road, less risk and more points on your scorecard.
Hard Braking – Gradual braking helps you save fuel and racks up points against the competition.
Time of Day – Drivers get more points for driving during off-peak hours, when roads are safest. (Unless you drive after midnight, in which case you get a “pumpkin” badge.)
Speed – Driving at safe speeds protects you and other drivers out on the road, and safety is key to moving your way up the leaderboard.
Make It A Game: Earn badges that unlock for good driving behavior. Compete with friends and family to see who can unlock the most badges. A great tool for drivers to stay engaged and connected with their driving.
Trip Logger
With Azuga’s Trip Logger function, you’ll be able to review details about your impact out on the road. The Trip Logger provides basic information such as time and distance, and more advanced info such as measuring your car’s carbon footprint. This information can help you better plan trips and reduce your impact on the environment.
Those are just a couple of the features Azuga will introduce on July 1. Later, they’ll roll out additional smartphone-connected apps:
Check Engine Decoder
Ever have your car’s check engine light come on and have no clue what the problem is? Azuga’s Check Engine Decoder can help. It helps you diagnose issues going on under the hood quickly and easily so your mechanic can keep your vehicle running smoothly.
Geofencing
This offers peace of mind that your teenager or anyone driving your car stays safe by allowing you to set up geographical zones and sending you a notification when your vehicle crosses the perimeter.
Find it Forward
Need to find the nearest gas station, store or rest area? Find it Forward is a one-touch location search and navigation tool that can help you track down nearby services.
2MyCar
We’ve all forgotten where we parked our car at least once. Azuga’s 2MyCar app helps guide you back to your car’s exact location using your smartphone.
