Automatic, a SiriusXM company, empowers drivers with knowledge about themselves and their cars so they can worry less whenever they hit the road. We believe you shouldn’t have to buy a new car to have a better driving experience, and that Automatic can bring the future of driving to today’s automobiles. With Automatic's low-profile, install-it-yourself adapter and mobile app, most vehicles model year 1996 or later can be transformed into connected vehicles. Automatic helps customers drive safer and smarter with applications that diagnose engine trouble, detect accidents, send emergency response when needed, save money, and more. Acquired by SiriusXM in 2017, we’ve evolved into a connected vehicle service with the infrastructure and capabilities to deliver Automatic across several distribution channels. We are based in San Francisco, but our team comes from every corner of the world. We obsess about creating beautiful and well-engineered products to deliver a service platform that makes a real difference in people’s lives. We’re big on ideas, low on ego, and love working together.
