Car-Disabling Security Solutions

The ERNEST Bluetooth Immobilizer Prevents Unauthorized Driving

— February 6, 2019 — Autos
The latest consumer vehicles being created by car manufacturers are outfitted with the latest technology but can come at a high cost, so new solutions like the ERNEST Bluetooth Immobilizer are being created to help drivers upgrade their existing ride.

The device works by being set up with your existing ride and will instantly go to work preventing your vehicle from starting unless you provide access via the accompanying app. This will allow drivers to deter theft, while also preventing other family members from driving the car without explicit permission from the owner.

The ERNEST Bluetooth Immobilizer also does double duty by tracking all of the various metrics surrounding your driving habits including route history, mileage, location and speed.

1. Bluetooth Immobilizer Technology - The emergence of Bluetooth immobilizer technology presents disruptive innovation opportunities for car security companies to provide effective and convenient anti-theft solutions for vehicle owners.
2. Smartphone-connected Vehicle Security - The integration of smartphone-connected features in vehicle security systems opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for tech companies to develop comprehensive and user-friendly solutions for vehicle owners.
3. Data-driven Driving Monitoring - The rise of data-driven driving monitoring solutions presents disruptive innovation opportunities for analytics and insurance companies to develop personalized and risk-based services for drivers based on real-time driving data.
Industry Implications
1. Car Security - The car security industry has the potential to leverage Bluetooth immobilizer technology to enhance anti-theft measures and provide peace of mind for vehicle owners.
2. Technology - The technology industry can tap into the smartphone-connected vehicle security market by developing innovative and integrated solutions that offer convenience and security for car owners.
