Aximote turns your car into a transparent, data-driven system. Our new Android Automotive in-car app gives drivers real-time feedback on trips, efficiency, speed, consistency, energy use, charging, and costs, without OBD hardware. It is like a fitness tracker for your car, built directly into the dashboard.
Hi Product Hunt,
We are excited to launch the Aximote In-Car App, our first step toward making vehicle data understandable, useful, and fun directly inside the car.
🚗 What is Aximote?
Aximote is a driving analytics platform that turns your vehicle data into real-time insights. With our new Android Automotive in-car app, drivers can see feedback directly in the dashboard, including trip tracking, efficiency, speed, consistency, energy use, charging, and cost-related insights.
🧩 What problem are we solving?
Modern cars generate a huge amount of data, but most drivers only get access to a tiny fraction of it. OEM apps usually show basic status information, while deeper questions remain unanswered. How efficient was this trip really? What driving habits increased consumption? How much did charging or refueling actually cost? How does one trip compare to another?
For many drivers, the car still feels like a black box. We want to change that.
⚙️ Why did we build it this way?
Existing solutions often rely on OBD dongles, manual exports, or third-party integrations. We wanted a more native and software-only approach. Android Automotive OS gave us the opportunity to bring analytics directly into the car, without requiring extra hardware, while working across manufacturers instead of being limited to a single brand.
🔮 Where are we heading?
We want Aximote to become the community layer for driving data: a kind of Strava for cars. Drivers should be able to compare efficiency, consistency, charging behavior, and real-world performance across trips, routes, and vehicles, independent of the manufacturer.
🙌 We would love your feedback
We are especially curious to hear from EV drivers, Android Automotive users, and anyone who has ever wished their car explained itself better.
What would you want to understand better about your car or your driving behavior?

Quick question on data ownership: if I switch cars in 3 years, can I take trip history with me, or does it stay tied to that specific vehicle? And any plan for CSV export for mileage tax write-offs? Niche use case but it tends to be the thing that converts hobby users into paying ones.
@sweepbase hi! Currently you can see the trip history per vehicle in the app but you can have multiple vehicles as well.
CSV export is already on board andwe are open for format suggestions 🙂

as an ev driver, the 'black box' feeling is real. manufacturer apps are notoriously bad at showing the actual cost-per-trip vs energy loss. being able to see energy use and charging insights directly on the dashboard instead of a phone app is a huge safety and ux win. @laurenz_hinterholzer

Love the concept mate... Wish this was part of Google Maps. I'll absolutely give it a try on iOS. 1 tiny feedback on the website. I'd recommend adding a QR scanner on the bottom right of the website.
This would make it easier for folks on desktop to download the app.
@bhawna_rathee There are strict rules from google that you need to implement in order to use the app while driving.

Very cool! We are currently building a tourist AI application that partially calculates distances, fuel consumption, etc., but this module is still in its early stages and is very auxiliary for us. Do you have an API? When we start integrating with cars, it would be useful to connect to a service like yours.

Awesome idea! Would be great if you could add some kind of adventure mode for those who love driving but want an alternative / more scenic route for their regular routes.

@richard_andrews4 thanks appreciate your feedback!
@laurenz_hinterholzer How can I trust that this in‑car app isn’t slowing down my car’s system or putting my driving data at risk?
