The evolution of telematics

Telematics has come a long way, when most of us first heard about telematics, it was all about finding your car when it disappeared, that's how we got to know it and for a lot of people that is still the idea but it has evolved to become a lot more than just that. There is really two verticals within telematics, the one is obviously your stolen vehicle recovery, tracking your vehicle if it's stolen and recovering it. Then the other would be the data that comes out of the vehicle via data streaming and that data has a number of uses by the customer, insurer and finance houses.

We speak to Belinda Felix, General Manager insurance and banking vertical at Netstar about how telematics has evolved and the current exciting developments she is seeing.
