Automatic, makers of a connected car dongle, emailed customers today to announce that the company will shut down all operations May 28. The company says it’s the casualty of the COVID-19 shutdown.
“Like many other companies in the United States, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business,” it writes, “and we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the Automatic connected car product, service, and platform.”
The information, also posted to the company’s site, notes that service will remain active until the end of day on May 28, at which point its services will cease. That includes crash alerts, location sharing and roadside assistance. The “Log in with Automatic” service and third-party apps will shut down a month later.
