DriverGO
DRIVER COMMUNITY APP — Real-time road intel powered by 70,000+ Hong Kong drivers
A community road-reporting platform built for DriveHub — speed-camera and incident alerts with voice prompts in Drive Mode, parking, fuel, toll and travel-time intel, and 3-second video reports. Launched in 2021 and rebuilt from the ground up as DriverGO 2.0 in 2026, now serving 70,000+ registered drivers.

TOLLSProject Overview
// THE CLIENT
DriveHub Co., Limited runs DriverGO, Hong Kong's driver community — a tip-off platform where drivers warn each other about speed cameras, incidents and congestion. OnOn Technology built the product end-to-end as DriveHub's development partner.
// THE PRODUCT
A live picture of Hong Kong's roads, drawn by the community: reports with photos and 3-second clips, voice alerts in Drive Mode, and everyday utilities — parking discounts, fuel prices, tunnel tolls and live travel times.
// THE JOURNEY
Version 1 shipped in March 2021 and grew past 70,000 registered drivers. In 2026 we rebuilt it from the ground up as DriverGO 2.0 — a new React Native + Expo codebase, a new backend, and a redesigned brand to match.
By The Numbers
From v1 to DriverGO 2.0
DriverGO started in March 2021 with a simple idea: drivers know the road best, so give them the fastest possible way to warn each other. The first generation paired a community reporting feed with voice alerts while driving, and bundled the utilities Hong Kong drivers actually use — parking discounts, fuel prices and EV chargers.
Five years and 70,000 drivers later, the product had outgrown its foundations. DriverGO 2.0 was a ground-up rebuild: a new React Native + Expo codebase, a geo-indexed reporting backend on AWS and MongoDB, and a reporting flow redesigned to get a hazard onto the map in seconds.
- Ground-up rewrite on React Native + Expo
- Redesigned 3-second video reporting flow
- New utilities: tunnel tolls and live travel times
- Geo-indexed report backend on AWS + MongoDB

Engineered for the Driver's Seat
A driving companion has an unusual constraint: it must be useful while the user cannot look at it. DriverGO leans on voice — alerts are read aloud as you approach a camera or incident, filtered by a heading-aware positioning engine that uses your direction and speed to warn only about hazards actually ahead of you, not reports on the opposite carriageway.
It also has to be a good citizen on the phone. Location keeps running in the background — even with the app closed — so alert delivery is carefully balanced against battery drain, and notifications respect the driver: customisable do-not-disturb windows, per-category preferences, and photo previews so a glance at the lock screen is enough.
Under the hood, every report lands in MongoDB with geospatial indexes for fast nearby-hazard queries, AWS handles media storage and fan-out push delivery through FCM and APNs, and Google Maps powers the live map, camera distances and travel-time boards.
What Drivers Get
DRIVE MODE VOICE ALERTS
Hands-free warnings for speed cameras, incidents and congestion as you approach them — eyes on the road, always.
3-SECOND VIDEO REPORTS
Capture a short clip and the location attaches automatically — a hazard is on the map before the next junction.
SPEED-CAMERA DATABASE
A community-maintained map of fixed and mobile cameras, sorted by distance and kept fresh by daily reports.
CROWD UPDATES
Any driver can confirm, update or clear an existing report, so the map reflects the road as it is right now.

Cross-harbour tunnel pricing and live travel-time boards for the routes that matter.
