Automatic: Your Smart Driving Assistant
It’s like a FitBit for your car. This little device plugs into just about any auto’s diagnostic port, then wirelessly tells your phone about your driving habits. It’ll grade you based on fuel efficiency, remember where you parked, tell you what that ‘check engine’ light means, and even call 911 if you get in a wreck. Putting this on my holiday gift list.
Duolingo
