Necessitiy-Checking Auto Apps

The Tile App Double Checks If Drivers Have Remembered Everything

— April 27, 2016 — Autos
To help consumers ensure that they have all their necessities with them before they leave the house is the auto-integrated Tile app exclusive to Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. The app connects to the car through the InControl Apps menu located in the dashboard and acts as an automated check list so drivers can ensure they have everything they need with them before they head off to their destination.

The Tile app is back-up check list to help busy and on-the-go consumers ensure they have their personal items, accessories and other odds and ends with them before they leave the driveway. The platform can be programmed to feature a list created by the driver, that then is repeated back to them inside the car. This ensures everything is with the driver before they leave, as a second way to check.
Trend Themes
1. Auto-integrated Checklists - Developing more apps that connect to the car to help drivers create and use checklists to ensure that they have everything they need with them before they head off to their destination, thereby reducing forgetfulness on the go.
2. Smart Accessories Apps - Developing apps that can automatically connect and communicate with smart accessories inside the car, thereby streamlining checklists and providing a better user experience.
3. Automated Reminder Apps - Developing apps that use machine learning and artificial intelligence to remind the driver to take necessary items with them, based on past behavior and locations, thereby increasing convenience and safety on the go.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - Automakers should develop and integrate more apps inside the car to help drivers remember everything they need in an on-the-go lifestyle, providing a better driving experience and increasing customer loyalty.
2. Smart Accessories - Smart accessories makers can develop more innovative accessories that can automatically communicate with the car and generate real-time reminders for users, thereby increasing convenience and user retention.
3. Mobile Apps - Mobile app developers can create more innovative and customer-centric apps that can remind users about their necessities in real-time, based on their behavior and preferences, thereby increasing engagement and retention.
