CareNET is a social platform that aims to reduce distracted driving by automatically sharing a driver's location and status with friends to increase accountability. It offers real-time updates and a social experience without requiring extra hardware or blocking texting like some competitors. The presentation proposes CareNET as a solution to the problem of distracted driving, which causes over 1.6 million crashes and 330,000 injuries annually in the US due to a lack of self-control, visibility, and incentives for drivers.
