NEW YORK — Artificial intelligence-based mobility tech firm Driver Technologies Inc. is partnering with RepairPal Inc. to give users of Driver's AI-driving copilot app access to the RepairPal network and the ability to schedule appointments online through its Driver Perks program.
Driver users also will have premium access to RepairPal's Car Genius service to speak to an experienced mechanic and receive free auto repair advice.
"We're excited to partner with RepairPal to provide free auto repair advice through its Car Genius program to our users to continue our mission to democratize road safety worldwide," Driver CEO and co-founder Rashid Galadanci said.
"By partnering with RepairPal, we can connect with drivers who are already actively engaged in safe driving practices and can provide them support to connect with auto repair experts for mechanical advice and education on vehicle repairs, as well as recommend certified shops who provide high-quality work at a fair price."
The Driver app allows drivers to video record their trip and receive computer-vision and telematics-based audio alerts when they are at risk of hitting a car, motorcycle, pedestrian or cyclist, or if they are falling asleep or become distracted.
Driver also offers a Driver Perks program for its premium users giving them access to resources to help keep them safe and save money on the road. The Driver app also includes roadside assistance, gas rewards, EcoPerk with One Tree Planted and on-demand legal guidance from Driver partners.
"We are excited to partner with Driver Technologies to bring a new level of convenience, safety and transparency to vehicle owners," RepairPal Chief Revenue Officer Kathleen Long said.
"Our combined mission in truly caring about the consumer will empower vehicle owners to make informed decisions about their vehicle repair, and improve their level of safety and vehicle performance on the road."
