I spent a lot of time designing autonomous driving interfaces for Android Auto — the work of making a car drive itself well. Then I'd go home and spend the weekend in a 27-year-old car doing precisely the opposite, badly, for fun. Drive is what came out of that gap. It turns the phone already in your car into a telemetry rig: g-force, braking, cornering, the full trace. The category it's up against costs $800–$3,000 and involves a wiring loom. Meanwhile the phone in your pocket has had an accelerometer, a gyroscope and GPS in it for a decade. That gap is most of the product. It also flags license plate reader cameras as you come up on them. That started as a personal itch — as I noticed Flock cameras everywhere. Free to start. If you've run a real data logger — AiM, VBOX, Racelogic — I'd like to know what you'd miss most going to a phone. That's the list I'm building from. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dr...
