Description
This radio batteries campaign reminds drivers that their day needn't die with their car battery. We use a car battery sound effect through voice over to 'kill' a sentence describing an activity that you might miss out on if your battery dies.
Execution
RAC’s Attention Powered Car uses neuro-technology and custom built software/hardware to make the car ‘go’ when you’re paying attention and ‘slow’ when you’re not.
The innovation served initially as demonstration of the problem.
Its neuro-data capturing capabilities then saw it become a mobile testing lab for a pilot study on driver inattention, giving measurable proof to the causes vs solutions.
Thirdly, it served as driver training tool. With the real-time feedback allowing drivers to learn what personally distracts them on the road. It lives on post campaign in this capacity at the RAC Driver Training Centre.
