Canadian company eBrake Technologies is preparing its North American launch of a smartphone app which locks drivers from their device when vehicle-related motion is detected and has just launched a pilot program with Canadian mobile network provider Telus.


The app, eBrake, requires no in-vehicle hardware; it locks any device on which it is installed and blocks incoming notifications. To unlock the device, users must complete eBrake's patent pending Passenger Unlock Test, something a driver cannot complete while driving.

A driver can safely and legally access maps, music and phone features using eBrake's unique Drive Control menu.

One-touch, automatic emergency calling to 911 is available to drivers at all times through eBrake's lock screen.
