"We started our company to keep people safer behind the wheel, while at the same time, helping them become better drivers," said Cellcontrol CEO Robert Guba. "The first step in getting better is identifying any potential issues, and we're proud to be offer users a free look into their driving behavior," said Guba.

DriveUP automatically identifies the driver and the passengers in the vehicle and gives scores based on braking, speed, cornering, aggressive driving, mobile phone use while driving, and more. Along with their score, DriveUP coaches users with tips on how they can improve their driving. They can then use these scores for potential savings on their car insurance.
