HUDWAY DRIVE: HUDWAY
Joins the Aftermarket Head-Up Display Market Competition

HUDWAY announced its new product for smart
driving — HUDWAY Drive, an aftermarket head-up display (HUD) for any car.

Marina Del Rey, CA –
March 27, 2017 / WebWire / – HUDWAY company, which first entered HUD
solutions market in 2013, is now releasing its new product for smart
driving — HUDWAY Drive, an aftermarket head-up display (HUD) for
any car.

HUDWAY Drive is now
available for pre-order at hudwaydrive.com. The
delivery is scheduled for May 2017.

HUDWAY Drive is a
portable head-up display that projects a live color image onto a transparent
lens and presents information in driver’s line of sight, on the road ahead,
enabling drivers to keep their eyes on the road while staying connected.

“HUDWAY has already
released a range of popular HUD solutions transforming a smartphone into a
head-up display. HUDWAY Drive is a new smart device — you can get all the
needed information in your line of sight, and keep using essential functions of
your smartphone in a safe way while driving. You can now control your
calls, messages, music and navigation when looking through the windshield —
with your phone in your pocket and both hands on the wheel,” — says Ivan
Klabukov, CEO and co-founder of HUDWAY. — “The option previously exclusive
to high-end automotive brands is now available for any car at a very affordable
price.”

In essence, HUDWAY
Drive is a standalone Android-based computer, with 8-core 64-bit ARM processor,
16 GB capacity and 2 GB memory.

The device supports
LTE/4G & Wi-Fi, and can work standalone, or paired with a mobile app on a
smartphone.

HUDWAY Drive display
is 20 times brighter than a smartphone display. It dims automatically so it’s easy
to see the image day or night. The lens focal distance is 8.2 ft (2.5 m) —
it makes the image seen like it’s floating out above the hood.

“All this makes
HUDWAY Drive the world’s most powerful car display,” says Klabukov.

HUDWAY Drive can be controlled
with voice, gestures, or a remote control with physical buttons
mounted on the steering wheel — this provides best user experience with no
distraction.

HUDWAY Drive can be
used either with an LTE/4G nano-SIM, or via Wi-Fi. For those who
prefer SIM option, the company will offer an affordable unlimited data plan.
Customers who prefer Wi-Fi, can use their phones as hotspots while driving.

The device is powered
and connected via OBD-II port. This way it receives and displays real-time
vehicle data, including speed, RPM, fuel-level, fuel consumption and more. Add
there its GPS, acceleration sensor, gyroscope data and registered fatigue and
distracted driving facts, and you will get a detailed scoring for driving
behavior that might be a great tool for auto insurance companies.

·  GPS navigation using live 3D map
(online/offline mode)

·  Real time traffic re-routing

·  Speed limits alerts

·  Nearby Places and POIs

·  Calls

·  Messages

·  ADAS: fatigue and distracted driving detection

According to Ivan
Klabukov, the device has gone past the prototype stage, its development is
complete and the team is now finalizing HUDWAY OS. Hardware unit has been
tested and certified and is now ready for mass production which is due to start
in April 2017. The product will hit retail in May 2017. Early adopters price
