Vancouver company moj.io turns your stupid car into a smart car

Hey Guys!

So I haven't posted in a loooong time. I've been a bit removed from the mountain bike community since I shattered my knee. I'm hoping to get back into it next summer and have some more mountain bike video content for you guys.

Recently I have started my own video production business with a buddy and things have been going great. We had been working on this video since August, and are super stoked to have it launched.

The product is super cool and I think most of you will find it very useful.

Let me know what what you think!

Video was used to constantly tell us that everything is online except our cars. Video did not convince me that having my car online would really be worth shit. The GPS would be cool in the case that someone steals your car, but chances are the thieves are going to remove the bright orange tracking device right beside the steering wheel.

They might sell a few parents on the ability to cyber stalk their kids while using the family vehicle I suppose.

Ther term "cloud" was used. I'm sold!

My tdi is smarter than you.

My f 350 already knows where it is,if it's broken and when it's time for a service. It also emails the dealership for either of the last two things. It will also call 911 if I wreck.

what more do you need?

smarter drivers?

I like the idea. However, the promo video needs to convince me why I need it, rather than what it is capable of doing. For example: driving to meet somebody for an early morning ride? Prepare a text message that says "I'll be there in 20 min" and have it send the text when it estimates you're 20 min away based on a mapping application.

any car into a smart car?

so this:

into this…

sounds like alchemy to me

smarter drivers?

Is there such a thing?

No comments on the lady!?!

Is there such a thing?

Yes, they don't live in cities. Or Alberta.

Her [HTML_REMOVED] I could have all sorts of nappy haired ginger babies!

Geofencing capabilities, so your boss can give you shit when you go outside of the jobsite. And speed monitoring, so he can crap on you when you exceed 50kph. Don't we all want and need this type of monitoring?

Don't you think this would be better targeted at commercial users (in tamper-proof form), like fleet operators (delivery companies, car rental companies, taxi, limo and transit services, commercial car and truck fleets, government fleets etc) and such rather than Joe Blows? If your workers are heading off to the No 6 Orange on your coin in your company fleet truck, you would want to know. It is less intrusive and less illegal than trying to attach a beacon to your employees, since the vehicle is technically your property.
