AUTOBIO
What Is AutoBio?
AutoBio is a Louisville, KY-based company founded by husband-and-wife team Paul & Katie Rooprai. They have created a digital showcase for vehicles, specifically for use at events like Mercedes Freude. An AutoBio Tag is a 2.5" window cling (not a sticker) that goes on the inside of your windshield. It is scannable using the QR code & NFC technology that is built into the Tag. The vehicle owner uploads photos, specifications and tells the story of their car on the website (www.autobiotags.com). Once your story is uploaded on the website and the Tag is on your windshield, anyone walking by can scan your Autobio Tag to learn the story of your car. You can return to the website and update your story and pictures anytime.
