Cool Automatic App w/BT

At least the field of awareness is expanding:

Automatic - Your Smart Driving Assistant

Driving Feedback
Automatic learns about your driving style and gives you subtle audio cues when you do things that waste gas, like:

Rough Braking
Braking abruptly decreases fuel efficiency and dramatically increases wear-and-tear on your car’s brake pads.

Speeding
Speeding doesn't save as much time as you might think, but driving 10 MPH over the speed limit reduces fuel efficiency by 12-15%.

Rapid Acceleration
Stepping hard on the gas pedal decreases fuel efficiency and wastes money.

Automatic shows how you're doing on every trip.

Eco-driving app for the masses. Automatic.com

Has anyone seen or used this app? It seems like a wonderful idea for people who don't want to decipher the scan gauge and read through ecomodder.com everyday. It seems pretty cool.

To EcoModder User Shovel: Perhaps. Though there's another thread about it some may have not seen that thread and this one can be merged with it.

That's pretty cool, but in some cases doing all of those things help you get better mileage

Maybe an open source version along these lines could be a nice idea for ecomodders..?
