Audi's New App Allows Users to Calculate the Cost of Business Travel
Cadhla Gray — November 11, 2015 — Autos
Audi's newest mileage tracking app allows users to do two very different, but important things. First, it allows users to calculate the cost of their drive in reference to traveling for business, giving businessmen and women a clear number that they can expense to their company. The other is also economical but simultaneously beneficial to the environment; the app shows drivers the percentage of their trip that could have been powered by an electric engine.
By showing them this comparison, it encourages drivers to switch to an e-tron engine -- which is good for the environment as well as the car company's sales. In addition to these unique and helpful applications, the mileage tracking app also measures typical things like distance, duration, average speed and efficiency of the ride. It also provides an overview of a map of the journey, allowing users to potentially spot a better route to take next time.
