Smart Drive

Develop an app that tracks driver daily work activity on field. Drivers on the field capture street views for the world’s largest map provider. This app scores their performance based on work completion and also provides critical input to the drivers during accidents, incidents, weather changes or any unforeseen situations that impact the daily work.

What is Street View?
