Story #1
You’re driving down the street when suddenly someone clips your car!
Story #2
Your friend Anna is trying to remember where she parked, and now she is honking her horn from her key chain.
Story #3
Your brother-in-law, John, is driving all around town determined to find the best gas prices, but eventually runs out of gas.
All three of these stories have one thing in common. Each can be fixed, or prevented, by purchasing an app on your smart phone. Technology is a great thing and it can make your life so much easier.
It’s important to be updated on technology. Here is a new list of apps, that will help you with your car experience while you’re driving.

Now, how could these stories from the beginning be rewritten?
Story #1
You purchased the Augmented Driving app before you started driving. While you were going down the street, your app warned you about a vehicle approaching closely. You break suddenly and the vehicle doesn’t clip your brand new car. (Avoiding an accident)
Story #2
Your friend Anna bought the Honk app before she parked. She pinned where her vehicle was and went shopping. When she came out her app located her directly to her vehicle, without any embarrassing honks.
Story #3
John, your brother-in-law, purchased the app GasBuddy. It told him the best gas prices in the area, saving him the trouble of driving around.
