The main purpose of vehicle telemetry is safety; therefore most of the data is external. To that end, a variety of sensors and devices collect data in real time on location, weather, and road conditions, as well as the speed, acceleration, and movement of other vehicles on the road. The vehicle’s telematics system processes all this data and presents it to the driver (or fleet supervisor) in real time, making sure to identify urgent issues for immediate driver notice.
Developers have created machine learning models to identify carriers of compatible devices and share information between them. Additionally, the models must integrate the various data sources to generate insights in real time while alerting drivers to urgent issues.
