Referring to these Kickstarter platforms, the press service of PGNIU stated: development of masters of economy was included into the three of the most popular startups in the world.

Hints about dangerous turns, a road situation or restriction of speed are reflected from the screen on a transparent surface that does not distract the motorist and does not reduce his viewing field in any weather.

"Create the assistant for the driver we thought up when we went on the night route from Izhevsk to Perm to arrive on the joint program of MBA of economics department of PGNIU and the Luisvillya university. I put the smartphone with the working screen under a windshield. Reflection and a road situation prompted us the idea – we created the application for the help on night roads", – Ivan Klabukov told.

The project on application creation became Ivan and Alexey's final work within training in the MBA program and received the appreciation from the Russian and American experts. In a year the program showing in reflection on a windshield information from the navigator was loaded by more than one million times in everything world.

The main shortcoming - it could work only in night-time.
