S-Drive recruited drivers with a fully integrated campaign recruitment that included live activations, print, posters, outdoor, ambient, radio, YouTube videos and PR all directing people to sdrive.com.au where they could learn more and sign up. Activations at surf festivals and universities also signed up people on the spot. Free S-Drive kit came with a phone cradle equipped with an NFC chip that activated the S-Drive app along with safe driving mode, allowing for voice only responses. Using GPS data, the app then monitors the speed limit, awarding you points for staying below the limit. Points can then be redeemed for rewards.
4,500 active participants 3,000,000+ safe kilometres travelled 25,000+ rewards claimed Crashes in S-Drive region down 25% Fatalities down 20% (17-25 yrs) compared to previous year Lowest death toll in the launch region since 1936 Program participation has climbed week-on-week instead of declining after launch like traditional advertising campaigns. S-Drive to be factory installed on all Samsung Galaxy phones S-Drive now to roll out internationally with expressions of interest from 55 countries.
Despite years of government scare tactics, inexperience, speed and the ever-increasing distraction of smartphones mean that 1 in 3 young Australian drivers crash within their first year of driving, and 2 die on our roads every week. In a country with one of the highest smartphone penetration levels in the world, Samsung saw that it could actually use its smartphones to promote road safety, and in the process, turn a distraction on the road into a life saving tool. Introducing S-Drive - a program that encourages and rewards safe driving. At its heart is a smartphone app that monitors driving behaviour, giving out points for every safe kilometre travelled, which can be redeemed for rewards. An additional social component incentivised people to create Drive Teams with two friends. They could then motivate each other to drive safely to win special team-only rewards, reinforcing the deadly 1 in 3 statistic and using peer pressure for good.
