The Otto-driving companion® (Otto) is a portable road safety device that provides a driver with information about their driving environment. Otto was designed to promote safe driving by complementing existing roadway signage. Otto has a digital speed map of the posted speed limits in the community along with a number of designated safety zone points of interest including Red Light Camera-controlled intersections. Otto is also an autonomous data logger and records where and how quickly the vehicle was driven. This information can be used to keep track of vehicle use, either for business purposes or for personal interest.
