## Products & services

- **Autobrain OBD-II Device** — A wireless, plug-and-play device that installs into a vehicle's OBD-II diagnostic port in minutes and works with virtually any car built after 1995. Connects over a cellular network (originally CDMA, later 4G LTE via AT&T) rather than Bluetooth, which the company argues is harder to jam.
- **Automatic Crash Response (ACR)** — Detects a collision and automatically dials an emergency line to direct first responders to the driver's exact location when the driver can't call 911 themselves. Designed with input from EMTs and first responders.
- **One-Click Safety Modes** — Four switchable modes - family, teen, senior, and baby - delivering tailored smartphone alerts such as speeding and dangerous-driving warnings, curfew alerts, and reminders to remove a child from the backseat.
- **Real-Time GPS Tracking & Car Finder** — Locate the vehicle instantly from the mobile app, with trip reports covering distance, fuel cost, and unsafe driving, plus stolen-vehicle recovery assistance.
- **Vehicle Health & Diagnostics** — Car-health alerts flag when service is needed; when a check-engine light appears, a live mechanic hotline helps find local shops and compare repair prices.
- **Roadside Assistance** — 24/7 roadside help including tire changes, tows, and emergency fuel delivery.
- **Fleet Management** — Vehicle tracking, driver-behavior monitoring, and maintenance tools for small businesses and fleet operators.
