Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro. \u201cWe developed <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.smithmicro.com%2Fpress-releases%2F2020%2F11%2F10%2Fsmith-micro-announces-safepath-drive%2F&amp;esheet=52438323&amp;newsitemid=20210602005068&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=SafePath%26%23174%3B+Drive&amp;index=2&amp;md5=1a0c6a1c0351dce7c91087a32fa59740\">SafePath<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Drive<\/a> to provide wireless carriers with a turnkey solution to help their customers address the pervasive problem of distracted driving caused by smartphones.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen asked to select <b>the most<\/b> dangerous distracted driving behavior for their teen driver(s), more than one in five parents (21%) cited smartphone use, 16% voted for talking on the phone, 13% of parents selected driving with friends in the car, while texting was also cited by 13% as most dangerous.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nInterestingly, the majority of parents surveyed also believe that smartphones could be part of the solution when it comes to teen driver safety. Almost six in ten parents (57%) said they have or would consider using a mobile app to monitor, detect, and report on their teen\u2019s dangerous driving behavior, while nearly seven in ten (69%) said that a mobile app with this functionality would be helpful in teaching their teen safer driving habits.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cFamily safety is more than just people. It\u2019s all the connected devices that are part of the family digital lifestyle, which now includes the family car,\u201d Smith explained. \u201cThe results of this survey prove that the utility and value of driver safety monitoring technology resonates with parents of teen drivers, which is exactly the reason we enhanced the functionality of our SafePath platform to help our carrier customers capitalize on this demand.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLaunched in November 2020, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smithmicro.com%2Fsafepath-drive&amp;esheet=52438323&amp;newsitemid=20210602005068&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=SafePath+Drive&amp;index=3&amp;md5=174bf688ec0f0a7db7c0a2e38dc0487c\">SafePath Drive<\/a> is a white-label mobile app that utilizes the sensors embedded on smartphones to detect, track, and report upon dangerous driving behaviors such as speeding, hard cornering\/braking, and risky smartphone use.
