Car Data & Trips

Your car’s diagnostics in real time, and every trip brought into analysis. A sneak peek at what is on the workbench.

⚙ On the workbench

Pico Drive

Reads your car’s diagnostics in real time and shows live readings on a screen, or logs quietly as a black box; every trip is brought into analysis.

A sneak peek: the live screen on the left, and in the next tabs a few highlights from the analysis of one real trip.

Route map

Every second of the trip on the map: the route colored by speed, and each event the analysis found, from warm-up to fuel trims and ignition timing. Tap an event for its readings.

stop <2 km/h2–2020–5050–70>70 km/h

Use the Layers panel to show or hide the speed colors, the speed-limit check, overspeed events and each group of analysis events. Hover or tap a dot for details; Ctrl + scroll (two fingers on a phone) to zoom. The start and the end of the trip are left out on purpose.

Speed compliance

Speed limits along the route are estimated from map data and compared with the car’s real speed, second by second. For fleets, it shows at a glance where and how often the limits were exceeded.

Health check

Each trip is compared with the car’s own history (284 earlier trips). Trends are tracked over time, so a slow drift shows up long before it becomes a problem.

Sensor data

Behind every trip: 13 sensors logged side by side (speed, RPM, load, temperatures, airflow, fuel trims, O₂ sensors, timing, voltage, fuel) and a technical overview where each value is placed against the car’s own history.
