We’ve compiled a collection of innovative products that will make every time you drive your car more pleasant—and in some cases, safer, too.
A Silent Witness
Scosche NEXC2 Dash CamIn the event of a fender-bender, it’s your word against that of the other driver, unless you have a dashcam. This unit has a 128 GB internal card for hours of HD footage, and even provides evidence should someone hit your parked car and leave without a note, or if a parking valet takes it for a joyride.
No More ‘Uh Ohs’
Weego Jump Start BatteryAll it takes to have a dead battery on your hands is forgetting to turn off the headlights. This compact yet powerful unit makes it safe and easy to get going again. It can also be used to charge phones and other portable USB devices or to run 12V equipment.
Wipe Your Feet!
WeatherTech Floor MatsThe floor mats that come with a car are not always great at capturing mud or snow from shoes or spilled soda or coffee. These, however, are laser-cut for a perfect fit, able to hold an amazing amount of dirt, debris, and liquids, and are easy to clean.
It’s Only Flat on the Bottom
Ryobi Tire InflatorLow air pressure in a tire usually happens in the middle of nowhere, far from a service station, which is why a portable inflator needs to be in the vehicle. This unit, powered by rechargeable batteries, quickly inflates tires as well as pool toys and air mattresses.
Keep Your Eyes on the Road!
Hudway GlassThe National Highway Transportation Safety Agency says a major cause of accidents is drivers looking away from the road. This projects GPS directions from your smartphone onto the windshield, just like a fighter jet’s “heads up” display, so you can safely see the display and the road ahead.
