Technologies and innovations are ruling every sector including the car industry. Today, cars are no more only a means of transportation. Car consumers have put in high aspirations and demands from car manufacturers. They want cars that are equipped with more technically advanced and modern features.

Car telematics is a blend of computer technology and wireless communication that works in association with electronic sensors. The key objective of telematics is to connect cars to mobile networks. These play an integral role to improve communication between a driver and a car with regards to roadside assistance and remote diagnostics. Telematics also help car drivers to perform functions like exchanging mails, downloading digital audio and video files, accessing Internet, and searching a perfect route to a desired destination. These applications further help to improve safety and comfort level while driving.

The U.S was the first market to adopt telematics in car. Following the U.S market, even European and Indian markets have started adopting this technology to introduce improved standards in the car. In India, the worth of telematics can be seen in high-end luxury cars like that of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Even Volkswagen, Volvo, and Mahindra have introduced electronic sensors in few of their car models.

Car telematics is though a new word in the car industry but a significant one as all the latest technologies including the Driver Information System in New Logan, Brake Assist in Mercedes-Benz cars, or the GPS (Global Positioning System) in quite a few of the cars in India, all are works on the principle of telematics. Indian car manufacturers are still in search of better car-telematics to improve the movement of car on roads to ensure improved safety and better driving experience.
