The DriveBot is an ingenious gadget, developed by a group of Thai engineers, that is essentially a Fitbit -- for your car. The device and its companion app provides real-time monitoring of your vehicle's health and offers solutions in response to problems it detects.
The Drivebot app is designed to offer basic instructions on how to resolve simple problems, and direct users to people who can resolve more complicated problems. The underlying idea is to proactively detect and address issues before they become more difficult to take care of.
The DriveBot's developers are running an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for production of the device. They are hoping to ship an iOS version of the device in February 205 and an Android version in March.
