The integrated solution allows remote monitoring of Mobileye alerts transmitted via the Voyager 3G cellular connection, which is ideal for fleet managers, insurance companies and families that want to receive real time updates on their driver's behaviour on the road.
Isaac Litman, Mobileye CEO commented: Integrating Mobileye Collision Avoidance systems with Voyager is an elegant solution that allows both the driver and a third party to receive Mobileye's life saving alerts in real time which is a real need for fleet managers, businesses, families and more. We are happy to partner with Accel on this exciting offering and believe it will enhance the Mobileye experience.
