Israeli-based Voyager is an in-car smartphone that acts as a second handheld for drivers to use specifically behind the wheel. Using a cell phone while driving is an illegal activity in most countries.
Recognizing that busy bees who are also long commuters do have to use their phones on the road, Voyage was created as the first purely car-connected smartphone to be used while driving.
It not only makes taking phone calls and playing music safer for drivers with the help of its large keyboard and voice-activation system, but also provides car diagnosis and warns drivers of any occurring problems.
The phone also comes with many useful apps such as GPS and parking spot locators.
