Pilot participant notice

Read this before your first pilot drive, together with the driver if they're under 18. Then fill in the consent form at the bottom. Effective October 7, 2026.

Design concept

What the pilot is

The AutoSight pilot is a small test of the AutoSight app with real families and driving schools. Families use it for about two weeks, and schools for about four. We want to learn whether it helps new drivers keep their eyes on the road, and what gets in the way. Taking part is voluntary, you can stop at any time, and it doesn't commit you to buying anything.

The pilot is run by Torben Heinbockel, AutoSight's founder. AutoSight is an early-stage venture, and the app is a prototype that runs in your phone's web browser.

The pilot uses the app. AutoSight One, our camera, isn't part of the pilot yet. Before a camera goes into any pilot car, we'll send you an updated notice and ask for your consent again.

Safety rules

  • AutoSight is a coaching tool, not a safety system. It won't prevent a crash, and it doesn't watch the road. The driver is always responsible for driving attentively and lawfully.
  • Set up before the car moves. Mount the phone, start the drive, then pull out. End the drive after parking. Never handle the phone while the car is moving.
  • Mount the phone where your state allows, and where it doesn't block the driver's view of the road.
  • Never look away on purpose to test it while driving. To see how alerts work, use the 90-second accuracy test while parked, or the simulated drive.
  • Follow your permit's rules. A driver with a learner's permit drives only with the supervising adult their state requires.
  • If the app distracts the driver, for example with too many alerts, stop using it during drives and tell us.

What the app collects

Stays on the phone and is never sent anywhere

  • The camera picture. Each frame is analyzed on the phone and discarded. No video or photos are recorded or uploaded.
  • GPS speed, if the driver turns on "Pause alerts while stopped." It's used during the drive and not stored. Location is never recorded.

Kept on the phone for each drive

  • The drive's date, length, and Focus Score; each drift moment (when, how long, which way attention went, and whether it was probably a phone); drowsiness alerts; and Moment Replays, which are short sequences of head angles and eye measurements around each alert, enough to animate a dot face but not to show a real one.

Shared only if you turn it on

  • Family sync: the drive records above, encrypted on the driver's phone with a key only your family's devices have, then stored on our server. We can't read them. The driver's phone can add drives but can't change or delete one already sent, and only a parent device can erase the family's drives from the server.
  • Sharing with a driving school: a separate encrypted copy for the school, without family-only details such as distance and camera checks.
  • Accuracy-test files, if you choose to send them: numbers only (head angles, eye scores, what the tester was asked to do, the conditions, the phone model). No images.
  • The two-week check-in, if you tap Send: your answers, your role, and how many weeks you've used AutoSight.

What the founder sees

  • How many families and schools uploaded drives each week, counted from upload times. Not your drives, scores, or name.
  • How many times each page of the site and app was opened each day, and error reports when the app breaks (the error message with codes and links removed, and where in our code it happened). Neither can identify a person or a phone.
  • This consent form, your check-in answers, accuracy-test files you send, and notes from our calls.

The full details are in the privacy policy. We never sell pilot data or use it for advertising.

Who sees the driver's drives

  • The driver sees every drive on their own phone.
  • The parent or guardian sees synced drives in the family view: scores, drift moments, and replays. Not video, not location.
  • A driving school sees drives only if the driver accepts the school's invite on their own phone.
  • Nobody sees the driver's face. It isn't recorded.

Drivers under 18

A parent or guardian signs the consent form. The driver also has to agree on their own phone: the family sync and school invite screens say what will be shared and ask them to accept. We'd like the driver to read this notice with you. If the driver doesn't want to take part, they don't have to, and we won't ask why.

On calls, we'll talk with a driver under 18 only with their parent or guardian's OK, and the parent is welcome to join.

How to stop and delete your data

  • Stop sharing: the driver can turn off family sync or school sharing in the app's settings at any time. The family or school is told it was turned off.
  • Delete from our server: "Stop sync and erase from server" in the family view erases the family's encrypted drives. A school's "Close school space" does the same for the school.
  • Delete from a device: each view has a "Delete" button for what it stores on that device.
  • Leave the pilot: email torben@driveautosight.com. We'll delete your consent form, check-in answers, accuracy files, and call notes within 30 days, unless you tell us we may keep anonymous notes.
