Automatic Link Review Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Realtime Driving Feedback

automatic-bigI have something to get off my chest: I live in New Jersey, so by definition that makes me a "Jersey driver". Ive never thought of myself as the sort of manically aggressive road warrior that befits the stereotype (and Id argue that Pennsylvania drivers are way worse), but Y Combinator-backed Automatic's Link dongle begs to differ. It's been plugged into my car for the better part of two weeks now, dutifully tracking all my hard stops, all my hasty starts at green lights, and all the times I've perhaps pushed the car a bit too hard.And the verdict is in: I'm exactly what I thought I wasn't. I'm a stereotypical New Jersey driver. As the old adage goes, the first step to recovering is admitting you have a problem, and Automatic's neat little dongle + app combo has helped me to realize just that.
