Chevrolet Call Me Out
Back in 2017 we at Chevrolet invited 29 young geniuses from 10 different countries to compete in Hack Lab Detroit and come up with a solution for texting and driving. Now in 2018 we’ve brought that winning idea to life, the Call Me Out app..

Friends don't let friends drive dumb.
Texting and driving among young drivers is a significant problem, leading to far too many accidents each year. Rather than merely acknowledging this issue, Chevrolet decided to take action. Following the Chevrolet Hack Lab event, where gifted teens from around the globe convened in Detroit to pitch their solutions, the winning idea was transformed into reality. The innovation, 'Call Me Out,' is an app that leverages cell phone gyroscope technology to detect if the driver interacted with their phone as texts were received. By using voice recordings from loved ones as deterrents and awarding points on a leaderboard for ignoring the most texts, we managed to encourage a positive behavioral change against distracted driving.
