Automatic partners with Jawbone for driving integration

Do you drive too much, could you walk your short journeys instead of driving them ? Well that’s what Jawbone , the company behind the fitness tracking band UP , wants to know.

They have team up with Automatic, a company that wants to get your car integrated with your smartphone , to give UP users an insight into how their physical activity and driving patterns are connected.

When you connect Automatic and UP together , Data of your car journeys is automatically synced with the UP app and are logged along with your physical activity where you can see how many steps you would have achieved if you had of walked rather than take the car. So for example, you have a set fitness goal and maybe taking a walk instead of the car could mean that you easily reach your goal.

Are you an UP wearer, would this make you leave the car at home and take a walk ?
