RayGo DriveMode works in the same simple way that the RAY smartphone for the blind works, letting you control your apps with just 5 keys.

DriveMode is so intuitive and smart that it knows when the driver is busy. It holds back notifications, pauses message playbacks, and even speaks slower when necessary, protecting you from the urge to multi-task, and focusing your attention on the road.
RayGo can be used by right- and left-handed people - The controller can be installed on either left or right sides of the steering wheel and will update the key mappings according to its orientation.

What is DriveMode?
The RayGo mobile app adds DriveMode on-the-fly to popular apps and utilities, making it simple and intuitive to use. DriveMode replaces complex graphics with easy-to-glance-at screens and voice prompts; and replaces touch-screen gestures with simple key presses on the 5-key controller. This automatic conversion of graphics into linear and common vocal elements is the key factor that enables us to provide intuitive interface for the blind and for drivers.
Which apps can I use with RayGo?
At delivery RayGo will work with Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Spotify, Gmail, SMS and telephone apps. We will be adding support for more apps in the updates to the RayGo mobile app following the campaign. The top apps on our list are Pandora, Spotify and Skype.
We'd love to hear your suggestions on which app we need to support in the future.
What kinds of apps do not work with RayGo?
RayGo will not support apps that create a significant visual distraction, for example games, video apps (e.g. YouTube), and picture apps (e.g. Camera, Instagram, Snapchat.)
What are the voice control functions RayGo provides?
You can control your apps using just 5 keys of the RayGo controller. That includes responding to your messages with pre-defined quick responses (don't forget your main task is driving!) If you cannot delay sending a longer message, you can send a recorded audio message or use voice recognition. When sending recorded audio message, the recipient will hear your voice as recorded by the smartphone. When using voice recognition, your smartphone will translate your voice into a text string before sending the message to the recipient.
I already have an app that stops me from texting. Why is RayGo better?
RayGo is not a product for those who already found the way to avoid using their smartphones while driving. This is certainly the best and safest way to keep your full attention to the road. RayGo is a product for the many of us who use their phones even though we know it’s wrong, providing a much safer way to engage with your smartphone while driving.
I like to glance at my phone when I am using a navigation app. Will I be able to see the map in DriveMode?
When you need to look at your phone, and a navigation app is a good example for it, you can proactively activate the screen by pressing the hot key (long press on the center button) on the RayGo steering-wheel controller. The screen is left open for 2 seconds which is the recommended time limit for visual distractions.
When can I expect my pre-ordered RayGo?
Once our campaign is successfully funded, you can expect your RayGo within 4 months of the campaign’s completion
Which smartphones does RayGo work with?
Any Android device running OS version 4.1 and above
Does RayGo work with iPhone?
Currently, we offer limited support to iPhone users that include reading aloud notifications. We are working on better adapting RayGo for the iPhone, and the full version should be available in the next six months.
How does the controller connect to my phone?
The controller connects to your smartphone over a standard Bluetooth connection.
How does RayGo know when how I am speeding up or slowing down?
The RayGo mobile app receives updates on the device’s speed from sensors on the RayGo controller and the smartphone. so we can evaluate whether it is safe to interrupt a user with a notification.
Does RayGo come in different colors?
We evaluated different color schemes aiming to design a device that can blend in car interiors while still being fresh and modern. Dark grey with lime yellow worked best in our tests. We are open to considering additional color schemes suggested by you in the comments.
I have more questions. Who can I ask?
