NaviDrive
 |
The NaviDrive system is a voice-activated radio, CD player, telephone, and navigation system (GPS) all in one unit, assembled in Citroën (Citroën C8, C6, C5, C4 and C3) and Peugeots vehicles. It includes a special function for reading back incoming text messages and dedicated buttons for dialling up the emergency or recovery services (to whom it can indicate the car position).
Functions
[edit]Its main functions and characteristics are:
- monochrome or 7" color screen
- Complete GPS Navigation system
- Radio, CD player with MP3 and CD changer for 6 CDs
- Integrated GSM dual band handsfree telephone
- Text-to-speech (reading of SMS messages)
- Voice recognition ("guide to John",...)
- Real-time traffic information (RDS-TMC)
Incident response
[edit]In certain countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg), in the case of an accident (by pressing a button or automatically when an airbag deploys), this system sends a text message containing the exact GPS position of the vehicle followed by a voice call to a special telephonic assistance platform which receives the position and the voice call. This platform determines the kind of urgency (medical, accident, fire,...) by asking a few questions and sends the appropriate emergency services to the exact location of the vehicle.
