autoSense by autoSense AG is an iPhone connected-car app that brings vehicle telemetry and mobility services to Swiss drivers and small fleets. It collects live vehicle health, location, and driving behavior through a proprietary OBD2 adapter and offers automated logbook recording, diagnostics, and in-app fuel and charging access. The app targets private car owners and small business operators who need consolidated vehicle oversight and reliable trip records for administrative use.

What the app does for vehicle oversight

The app centralizes car-related data and service links in one place. With a dedicated OBD2 adapter it transmits engine diagnostics, location, and trip metadata to the mobile interface. Core functions include an automatic digital logbook that exports trip data for tax or business reporting, live diagnostics with error-code alerts, and GPS-based theft protection features tied to geofencing and location updates.

How precise and consistent its data reporting is

Hardware-based telemetry improves measurement accuracy compared with phone-only approaches. The proprietary adapter feeds live vehicle signals rather than relying solely on the phone’s sensors, enabling features such as a driveScore derived from acceleration, braking, and cornering metrics. Real-time fault notifications and maintenance alerts depend on continuous adapter-to-app data flow for reliability.

What devices and connections are required

The service requires an iPhone and the company’s OBD2 adapter to operate. The app runs on mobile devices meeting the stated iOS requirement and the adapter must be installed in the vehicle’s diagnostic port to transmit data. Electric vehicles are supported as the app includes battery monitoring and charging station locators designed for EV workflows.

Who benefits and what limits to expect

Private owners and small fleets gain record-keeping and partner services, within regional bounds. The app integrates with Swiss partners such as AMAG and Zurich Insurance for maintenance and claims workflows and offers in-app fuel and charging at participating stations. Users should confirm vehicle compatibility before adopting the system, and they remain responsible for ensuring their usage complies with platform terms and local regulations.

Practical choice for Swiss drivers who want centralized mobility oversight

autoSense suits vehicle owners and small-fleet managers who prioritise consolidated vehicle records and partner-linked workflows. Its partner-focused model concentrates value inside the regional service network, so prospective users should verify service availability and vehicle eligibility before depending on it for compliance-sensitive records. For administrative use, it provides a practical, hardware-backed option for ongoing vehicle oversight.
