Calm Curve
A pocket driving coach that scores a 30-second windshield clip against physics-based baselines and tells newer drivers, in plain English, where to ease off the brake.
newly licensed and returning drivers who know they brake hard or late but cannot tell which corner is the problem
- 30-second windshield video upload that returns a smoothness and safety score per corner
- annotated overlay showing your braking point versus a calm, baseline profile
- plain-English tips tied to the specific corners on your own daily commute
- weekly trend that tracks whether your everyday driving is getting smoother
the open-source ForzaHorizon6 geometry head just proved a single-camera model can extract real speed and slip from video, making camera-first coaching affordable without OBD-II hardware.
Multiple commercial AI driving-coach apps (Young Drivers' Drivers Coach, Hedwingo, Safe Journey) launched in 2024-2025 targeting the same newly-licensed/returning-driver demographic, indicating real but contested demand.Young Drivers Launches 'Drivers Coach' iOS App in the U.S. and Canada to Close Teen Driver Practice Gap ↗Safe Journey: Driving Coach on the App Store ↗
At least four direct consumer camera/AI driving-coach apps already in market; whitespace is narrow and differentiated only by 30-second windshield clip workflow and physics-based brake scoring.Hedwingo | Your Personal AI Driving Coach in Your Pocket! | Young Drivers ↗NoLift — AI Track Coaching ↗
No public subscription pricing surfaced for the most relevant comparators and the category is dominated by driving-school bundles (Young Drivers), making standalone consumer willingness-to-pay unproven.Drivers Coach on the App Store ↗
Carriers, insurers, and driver-ed incumbents (Young Drivers, Geico, State Farm telematics) already expanding into AI coaching; regulatory liability for scoring consumer braking may push the space toward insurer/auto OEM partnerships rather than indie durability.Young Drivers Launches 'Drivers Coach' iOS App ↗
Repo (Ayin1412/ForzaHorizon6-VisionAI, 80★) proves single-camera speed/slip extraction, but author explicitly disclaims general autonomous driving applicability; real-world windshield footage (vibration, glare, varied camera mounts) and physics-based brake baselines are substantial engineering beyond the demo.GitHub - Ayin1412/ForzaHorizon6-VisionAI ↗
