Telematics solutions

Telematics data transforms the driving experience: the road to holistic connectivity

In the growing market demand for vehicle connectivity, advanced safety solutions and the capturing of real-time data at a lower cost is driving the production of more telematics-enabled vehicles than ever before. These types of vehicles are equipped with telematics systems and control units so they can seamlessly connect with various services around them.  

For instance, eCall automatically alerts emergency services in the event of an accident by utilizing telematics data. V2X communication enables vehicle-to-vehicle or vehicle-to-infrastructure communication to improve safety and road efficiency. Over-the-air updates allow for an unprecedent availability of new software features in cars, such as smartphone integration. Map streaming enables consistently updated map information, enhancing the user experience for navigation, among other benefits. A wide range of use cases is facilitated through connectivity. 

Due to its increasing prevalence, it's expected that around 95% of vehicles worldwide will have built-in connectivity by the end of this decade. With this high percentage in mind, the experience provided by the comprehensive telematics solution should be fully immersive and connected, resembling that of smartphones. Achieving these improvements requires collaboration among stakeholders, including automakers, logistics providers, and vehicle insurers.
