A single at-fault accident can raise insurance premiums dramatically.

Not at fault? CarChip can give you the information you need to settle a contested insurance claim. Most cars sold today are equipped with “black boxes.” But there’s no simple way for you to access the information they record.

CarChip puts this information into your hands, instead of the hands of the automaker or some big insurance company. Whenever there’s an accident, CarChipE/X automatically logs the last critical 20 seconds of speed.

You can also see when the brakes were applied. And, if you’re monitoring throttle position, you’ll see that, too. But don’t wait for an accident. By showing exactly how your car is being driven, CarChip can help convince drivers to change their habits. Or it just might be an eye-opener for yourself!
