The Automatic Link Smart Driving Assistant is an interesting new product geared for people who want to optimize their driving habits to improve fuel economy.  Unfortunately the product provides very few benefits to most drivers who are already conscious of saving fuel.  For example, the product beeps to let you know that you are driving over 70 MPH, braking severely, or accelerating too quickly. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, the problem is that most drivers will know when when they are doing these things and will not need the driving assistant to remind them.Another major negative of the Smart Driving Assistant is that it you must pair it to your phone in order for it to function.  It does not have a memory of its own so if you do not connect it to your phone it will not function or give you feedback.  The problem with this is that you cannot connect  your phone to your bluetooth headset while driving.  The majority of drivers out there will likely rather pair to their bluetooth headset over the driving assistant so that in the event of a call they can actually drive more safely.*** Positive Points: ***- Easy setup- Automatic updates to app and to the Automatic Link- Provides information on gas prices and mechanics- Logs your trip and your overall driving habits during that trip- Provides a Calculation of how much the trip will cost in gas- Will work on multiple cars.*** Negative Points: ***- Limited usefulness since most people already know that speeding, racing, and hard braking will not lead to more MPG- Setup requires you to enter your VIN- Does not work unless your iPhone is connected to the Automatic Link via Bluetooth- Cannot connect a Bluetooth Headset if you are connected to the Automatic Link- The Link does not remember your trips unless your phone is connected so if you forget to connect it will not log on your trip or give you feedback- Requires phone data connection- Does not work on Android devices- Does not analyze all codes given by your car (like a Code scanner would). Instead it only tells basic Check Engine codes.  I have an SRS light that is on and the Link does not even acknowledge that there is a problem.- Car finder feature is not very useful and only provides very basic location.Overall:  In its current guise the product provides limited functionality to most drivers.  In the future this could be an excellent product  if it did not require a constant cell phone connection to function or if it had more stand alone features without relying on your cell phone and your data plan.  Another potential future use could be to track where and how your teenagers are driving.  So many possibilities for this device... unfortunately we will have to wait until version 2.0 to see if this become a more useful product.
