“SaverOne recognizes the telephone signals emitted inside the vehicle. The application is able to distinguish between a phone on the driver’s side and a phone on the passenger side, ”says Ori Gilboa, one of the co-founders of SaverOne.
“The company was founded with the goal of providing a technology product that saves lives, and thus tackles the number one killer on the road: distraction from using the phone. [au volant] “, he added.
“Drivers are unwilling to take the simplest step, which is to turn off your phone before driving,” he continued, justifying the creation of the application.
“Many more people die sending messages while driving than from coronavirus,” said Gil Sheratzky, the second co-founder.
Once installed, SaverOne prevents certain applications from running, without the driver being able to unblock them along the way.
Founded in 2014, SaverOne had raised 10 million dollars (8.4 million euros) even before its IPO ”.
