Men just don’t get it. Men don’t get the fear women feel leaving the office after work to head to their car at night, or walking across a large parking lot carrying boxes in their arms. A parking lot can prove dangerous for millions of women and sometimes lead to serious or fatal consequences. VehSmart, a new product that provides women with personal security and peace of mind, is now available.

Thugs, thieves, rapists, and lunatics all love the area around your car or en route there. It has become a prime target for them. This area provides greater protection to your attacker than it does for yourself, especially if you’re in an unlit area or secluded garage, or are between larger vehicles. The Department of Justice estimates that one third of American women will be attacked during her lifetime. These grim statistics mean that women (and men too) should be extra careful when they are walking alone to their cars in garages or parking lots. Extra protection is required to protect yourself from becoming another statistic, especially considering that 70% of shoppers are women.

VehSmart is an OnStar-like product, which can be fitted to all types of vehicles. The National Women’s Study revealed that 78% of women are open to buying OnStar-equipped cars, while 71% hope their parent(s), 71 percent, will buy a car with an OnStar safety and security system. VehSmart claims that it offers more safety features and benefits than OnStar, including an exclusive remote panic button. This is a personal backup for any emergency.

VehSmart uses Telematics a new technology which combines existing GPS with communications technology to create an emergency notification system. Pressing the emergency alert panic button will send a call center 24/7/365 to the user. They immediately attempt to reach the user by e-mail and mobile phone. The Call Center can also locate the VehSmart-equipped vehicle using VehSmart’s GPS technology. The Call Center can not only call the user’s mobile phone, but can also contact pre-listed contacts to dispatch roadside assistance and emergency services if needed. VehSmart is the only product to offer this safety protection, not just in the vehicle but also around it.
