Smart devices of all kinds are available today. Interactive whiteboards are used from the elementary school room to the boardroom. Deskbound office workers wear wristbands to track their steps during the day. Now, drivers can use a matchbox-sized gadget called Automatic to get feedback about their fuel-wasting driving habits.
