Ever been driving on a highway, only to discover that your best friend just passed you without seeing you? Thus missing the opportunity to stop and grab a few? With our low powered wi-fi equipped car pheromone device, your car will sniff out your friends whenever they are within 500 meters. It will not only sniff them out, but also allow you to use the voip feature to arrange the meeting place at the nearest exit. Premium versions add the video link
