New iPhone app ‘Safe Driver’ ready to inform parents about your driving habits!

Software company Dangerous Decisions now offers Safe Driver — an iPhone app that enables owners to keep tabs on its employees who drive around in company vehicles.

This program uses the iPhone’s GPS transponder and accelerometer to measure and record vehicle acceleration, braking, cornering, and speed. Parameters can be set up by booting up the software, driving with the iPhone in the car, and saving the results. Parents, managers, and other persons in authority immediately get an e-mail or a text message if the driver exceeds any of the saved parameters.
