App Concept
TruckSense Custom Control
An in-cab software and hardware interface that gives truck drivers granular control over all driver assistance features per truck. Drivers can save profiles with preferred settings (e.g., sensitivity, off, or warning-only modes) and easily switch between them while driving, restoring the feel of manual control they trust.
Key Features
- Per-truck driver profiles with memory for assistance settings
- Physical toggle switches or voice commands to quickly disable/enable specific systems
- Visual dashboard showing which assists are active and recommended settings for conditions
- Integration with OEM systems to override default behaviors without voiding warranty
Target Users: Professional long-haul truck drivers and fleet operators experiencing frustration with mandatory driver assistance systems in newer trucks.
Revenue Model: $99 one-time hardware module plus $10/mo subscription for fleet management and profile syncing
