Machine-to-Machine (M2M) technology — or telematics — has the potential to transform the automotive industry, from how we pay for car insurance through to how businesses manage fleets of cars. M2M involves embedding a SIM card into the vehicle’s computer to track automatically a whole range of activities from location, to petrol consumption and maintenance needs.
We’re looking for beta testers that try out our newest feature, give us early feedback and let us know what they think.
The application process is straightforward: apply for a telematics device to be installed in your car to monitor your driving style and wait to be alerted if you have been selected for the test cycle.
Project benefits:
– Down the line you could save on your car insurance by creating a record of your driving data and producing a solid driving score
– Feel the benefits at the petrol pump straight away by learning to avoid the bad habits that send fuel consumption costs surging
– Be a better eco-citizen and reduce your CO2 emissions
– Monitor your statistics and learn from other drivers via the online Community and mobile app
Go on…
