In Telematics Today

Bringing Telematics To Cars Without Them

March 25th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Your ’97 Accord doesn’t have remote diagnostic reporting, geo-fencing, trip logging, yada, yada yada? Well, for $200, now it can! Motolingo’s Motoriety is a system to bring telematics features to your older car’s OBDII port and represents a creative little bit of tech.

Using the vehicle’s OBDII data port and bluetooth connectivity Motoriety will collect vehicle information and deliver that information to a twitter feed, email address or web portal utilizing the users bluetooth connected cellphone for the data transfer pipe (a la Ford Sync, except Sync uses Airbiquity’s data over voice technology).

The site says a data plan is required for the emails or the data can be sent to a Twitter feed (which makes me think the system uses the SMS to Twitter feature to facilitate data delivery). Using Twitter to deliver this data is a fairly ingenious implementation since it’s so readily accessible to all users through so many different portals (web, phone, etc).

The feature set is more extensive than I’d expect from a $200 plugin module, but it makes sense. Since the OBDII port delivers comprehensive diagnostic data the Motoriety unit can take advantage of a lot of data (I don’t know if it’s exactly as much information as an embedded system like OnStar, but I’d bet it’s at least the majority of it) and Motolingo squeezes every last bit out of it. Highlights of the features include:
Aggressive Acceleration Detection
Records rapid accelerations and informs the driver with an audible chime and logs the [...] Continue Reading…

Smartphones and Embedded Systems

March 24th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

We know that apps are coming to the car and that movement is no doubt led by smartphones like the iPhone and Nexus One. Over at Telematics Update Andrew Tolve discusses, ‘The Smartphone: Friend or Foe of In-car Infotainment?” My take away from the article is that the answer is, it’s both…and I would tend to agree.

The growth of app stores has gotten users accustomed to the model of downloading and installing apps and provided a platform for developers to effectively sell their applications. This no doubt benefits automotive systems. For years automotive systems have been limited and confusing, but as the market becomes more savvy it becomes easier and easier to introduce complicated technologies to the vehicle. The sheer volume of apps and developers means that as OEMs adopt these advanced technologies the applications will be readily available for users.

Mobile apps and the availability of wireless connectivity have been tied in a chicken and egg problem for a long time, but now the race is over. The smartphone provides a platform for apps and 3G connectivity is every enough for the masses to take advantage. All the web technologies that drive mobile and web2.0 apps also benefit the automotive systems as the connected car becomes another internet portal with a few special quirks (like 4 wheels and an engine).

Tolve argues that the rapidly changing face of smartphones requires constant updates to in-vehicle systems and that this is a point in favor of using embedded systems rather than one [...] Continue Reading…

Location Awareness Keeps On Rolling

March 24th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

In his article on NYT.com David Carr talks about the pervasiveness of location based services at South by Southwest. Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple and more have introduced location enabled apps or features and we are just at the leading edge of adoption among users.

In particular, Carr talks about Gowalla and Foursquare, to location based ‘games’ that feature the ability to virtually ‘check-in’ at a location. Awards and rewards are bestowed for completing certain achievements, like checking in at your local pub more often than anyone else.

I’m personally ‘Mayor’ of 3 or 4 locations I frequent near my house and with every check-in I get a little more addicted. In the long run these types of apps will facilitate all manner of marketing and advertising, but they haven’t yet reached the critical mass necessary to really have an impact nationally. That being said, at a tech heavy event like SXSW or DEMO I’m sure everybody and their mother was checking in at every hall, booth, sidewalk and party.

Carr even mentions that people could tell the SXSW keynote wasn’t doing well when people that had checked in to it started checking in elsewhere. An interesting way gauge interest and traffic to be sure.
“The check-in is bigger than location,” said Yancey Strickler of Kickstarter, a Web site that helps with fund-raising for media products. “Think of media: Checking into watching ‘Lost,’ being declared the mayor of ‘The Brothers Karamazov’ or earning a badge for braving free jazz.”

Application Spotlight: AppSpace.com

March 23rd, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Sister site TechtoLiveBy.com has a post on AppSpace.com, a recommendation engine for smartphone apps.
The number of apps available for the iPhone, Android OS and Blackberry is rapidly approach a combined 200,000. Wading through the sewage that constitute most apps to find that diamond in the rough can be a daunting task. For some of us installing and deleting apps is a hobby, but most people don’t have the patience or desire to go through all that downloading and testing.

AppSpace.com is a recommendation engine for the app store of your choosing (WebOS is once again snubbed) and is intended to help you find just the right app for your needs. By taking your indicated areas of interest and the apps you like and dislike (based on your ratings) AppSpace will recommend apps for you to try (along with the appropriate download links).
It’s a handy little system and while you’ll probably still have some trial and error in finding the perfect app for your tastes, AppSpace should definitely make the process easier.
The idea here is pretty straightforward even if the execution might not be. The automotive industry will face a similar challenge. As more and more apps become available for vehicle integration how will users sift through the thousands to find the ones that fit their desired experience the best? Well, I’d bet that AppSpace will add some preference options for automotive apps (once the apps actually hit the market), but the providers will likely need to come up with their [...] Continue Reading…

Hacker Uses Telematics System for Revenge

March 23rd, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Alright, that headline is a bit much… It’s true though and re-raises some security concerns…

Apparently Omar Ramos-Lopez, 20, was laid off from the Texas Auto Center and decided he’d use a telematics system installed on some cars sold at that auto center to be very annoying. He used the system to activate the horns and lights of the cars of ~100 customers before the Texas Auto Center reset their passwords and Omar lost his access (through an ex-coworkers account…his account was deactivated when he was laid off).

We know that the telematics system is a potential opportunity for nefarious activity, but as the integration between vehicle and outside world grows so do to the opportunities to use the system for evil. In this case it was a simple issue of poor password security among co-workers and the the WebTech Plus system (used to ‘remind’ people to make their car payments and locate the cars for repo) that was ‘hacked’ didn’t have access to particularly critical systems (it can remotely disable an ignition, but not stop a vehicle in motion). People in general are just bad about changing and protecting passwords, but even more so when the account does not include their own personal information (like access to any customer database a mechanic at an auto center might have). Also, Ramos-Lopez was able to access the web portal for the WebTech Plus system from a location other than a computer from the automall which means there is [...] Continue Reading…

Application Spotlight: Aha Mobile

March 18th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Aha Mobile bills itself as interactive personalized radio and aims to deliver a customized ‘radio station’ of streaming audio content created from web and local information relevant to the user. That is, Aha Mobile will give you a customized traffic report, your facebook / twitter updates, yelp reviews and move all based on your preferences and location and delivered as audio through your device’s (phone or vehicle) speakers.

Aha’s model is to have the user setup any preferences and customization beforehand and keep the drivers interactions with the phone (or head unit) as simple as possible while driving. For now the app is only available to iPhone users and controls are only available through the device, but Aha’s plan is obviously to integrate more closely with vehicle systems to further reduce driver distraction.

The feature list seems pretty ambitious and includes some crazy novel features:

Nearby Traffic: Wondering what traffic is like two miles up the road, at the next exit or on an approaching highway? Nearby Traffic gives you an instant traffic report based on your current location. Aha creates this report using data from best-in-class third party traffic providers Inrix and Clear Channel, and from voice notes left by other drivers near you. Tap the microphone icon to share a 15-second “Shout” about the road you’re on and help other drivers nearby. [Authors Comment: 'Shouts' have to be approved before they are published...I wonder if Clear Channel's traffic centers are at all involved in that]

My Traffic: During your first-time set [...] Continue Reading…

Application Spotlight: Waze

March 17th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Waze is a turn-by-turn navigation platform with it’s roots in real-time user provided data. That is, it relies on each user’s phone acting as a probe in its network delivering flow data back to a central server for anonymization and distribution (much like Inrix and Dash) to the user community.

It is a free service that started in Israel (and has over 100,000 users there), but is being rolled out across the United States. According to Waze.com the application uses the United States Census Bureau TIGER map and will allow for manual map updates and edits to improve the accuracy of the map. In addition to passively providing flow data users can actively interact with maps to provide street name updates, incident reports, construction notices and more thus providing the most up-to-date data set possible to users (and, in theory, allowing for the best turn-by-turn directions).

It’s interesting that Waze repeatedly says it is not a navigation application (which it clearly is a type of), but instead they say it is “designed to facilitate driving to the places one knows very well – for example, work.” An interesting distinction… The application is intended to keep you up to date on the latest traffic information related to areas you frequent (i.e. areas where your Waze app will be uploading data from). Now, it would seem logical to me since a basic feature of the application is turn-by-turn directions (presumably to direct you around congestion) that Waze should be equally as useful in [...] Continue Reading…

Driving Distracted (With a Badge?)

March 16th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Matt Richtel at the The New York Times talks about the ever growing number of police, fire fighters, paramedics, etc that are weaving through traffic at high speeds while talking on a cell phone or radio and typing on a laptop or navigation system.
Ambulances and police cars are becoming increasingly wired. Some 75 percent of police cruisers have on-board computers, a figure that has doubled over the last decade, says David Krebs, an industry analyst with the VDC Research Group. He estimates about 30 percent of ambulances have such technology.
There is no question that these groups of people are at the absolute top of the list of folks that have good reason to use these technologies while in motion (do you want an ambulance to pull over to input a destination on their way to your house?) and the article even notes an estimated savings of 20-30 seconds per call.

So what has to happen to keep these technologies safe? Well, in my mind, exactly the same thing that has to happen for consumers…simplified UIs, voice controls and hardware integration. The NYT article mentions a University of New Hampshire project (federally backed with $34million) is working on hands-free technology for police cars (and a quick Google search reveals other projects), but I can’t seem to find which, if any, of the major voice control providers they are working with.

It would only make sense that the technology being used is the same as is used in consumer applications (this is one [...] Continue Reading…

Telenav’s Top 10 Most Searched

March 16th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

The Telenav Blog posted top 10 usage statistics of their users and there are some noteworthy items…

Los Angeles tops the list of cities where users are more likely to use GPS to reroute around traffic which is in line with Inrix’s Traffic Scorecard which placed LA as the most congested city in 2009. LA was also the city where the most GPS searches occurred, but, strangely (to me anyway), Maryland and DC topped the list of areas where users most frequently used GPS navigation.
Users in the state of Maryland were the most frequent users of GPS guidance in the US, using it for twice as many trips per month than the national average.
All these searches add up to pretty good data about business and habits, but there are no big surprises… Walmart and Starbucks are the most searched business and Pizza and Chinese the most searched foods.

Twitter, Now With Geo-Location

March 15th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Last year Twitter acquired Mixer Labs and the Geo API in an effort to continue boosting their location based functionality. Twitter added a ‘local trend’ feature that allows users to see tweets based in a certain area, but the location was manually set by the user. Now Twitter has announced the addition of a more significant tweet your location feature that allows users to add location information from their mobile device to their tweets and, most importantly, makes that information searchable for other users.

Now when you come across that police blockade you’ll be able to search near your location for relevant tweets and find out why the police have surrounded your building (or, more realistically, find out how far that blackout you’re stuck in reaches).

As this functionality is integrated into applications like Foursquare and Waze and others yet to be developed I believe it delivers that final necessary layer of information to make Twitter a true potential leader for in-vehicle information. Without the added value of 3rd party applications Twitter + geo-location information could be an extremely powerful tool for the transfer of data to and from the vehicle. I can already think of at least 3 ways to take advantage of the power of Twitter’s real-time information stream to improve real-time traffic data (if you’d like to discuss them, e-mail me).

I have already talked about how Twitter’s platform has the potential to become a major player in real-time incident data and the addition of this geo-location information combined [...] Continue Reading…

Google In Position to Control Mobile Future

March 11th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Jagdish Rebello of iSuppli talks about how Google is using it’s classic strategy of giving things away for free to turn the mobile advertising and search markets to their favor.
By pursuing a strategy of working with the mobile chain rather than against it, Google Inc. has a strong chance of success in its bid to transform the wireless business from its traditional model of being driven by voice subscriptions to a new approach of being supported by broadband-based mobile advertising revenue, according to iSuppli Corp. If Google can execute this strategy, it stands to rewrite the rules in the $1 trillion wireless industry.
Google is really attacking the entire value chain, from the the potential to become an ISP to offering an operating system to launching it’s own hardware Google is involved in every aspect of the ecosystem that supports their core business (ads and search).
During the past three years, Google has continually targeted the mobile communications industry with a series of initiatives. From offering free Wi-Fi services, to developing a free and powerful open operating system for smart phones—Android—to offering free maps and turn-by-turn navigation services, to introducing a Googlebranded phone—the Nexus One—the Internet search giant is revolutionizing the mobile value chain in an attempt to unlock new value and to expand an industry desperately searching for the next inflection point.

Like the rest of the mobile value chain, Google is actively seeking to uncover new user behavior patterns and to drive social networking services through the promotion of cloud storage and [...] Continue Reading…

Ford Sync Feature Spotlight: Security

March 10th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Convergence is awesome and our smartphones are becoming more and more the central hub of our technology ecosystem (particularly the mobile ecosystem). That being said, I’ve always wondered how far we can go with convergence before losing my phone becomes a bigger problem then not being able to access x or y through my phone in the first place (think about losing your phone when it can open and start your car, map the way home, open your front door, and turn off your alarm…I have since put a PIN on my phone and stopped worrying as much).

To combat some parts of that equation and others Ford Sync has taken steps to secure data and minimize the damage that can be done through the connectivity of the system.
“Ford Motor Company delivers highly advanced technology and entertainment platforms that, just like a consumer’s laptop or smart phone, need to have security features built into it,” said Jim Buczkowski, director, Ford Electronics and Electrical Systems Engineering. “Consumers want and need to know that their personal or professional information in their vehicle is specific only to them.”

Recent industry data shows that more than 11 million people in the U.S. were victims of identity theft and fraudulent accounts in 2009 – with nearly a third of fraudulent accounts opened via mobile phone technology. As the use of smartphones escalates – with 174 million shipped globally in 2009 alone – concern over identity and information theft continues to rise.

The NextGen of Telematics

March 10th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Most car shoppers know what telematics is, even if they’re not familiar with the term. Thanks to OnStar’s prevalence on GM vehicles and pervasive marketing efforts, telematics has become synonymous with the company’s services — in much the same way that Kleenex can stand for tissue and Xerox for copiers.

Telematics is an awkward word used to describe systems like OnStar that can transmit information — such as whether there’s been an accident — from a vehicle to the outside world, and also allows car occupants to call for help. Beyond safety, telematics systems also include convenience features such as remote door unlocking, a live “concierge” to help find services nearby and turn-by-turn navigation.
Doug Newcomb of Edumunds.com brings us an overview of the major OEM’s telematics offerings… From the established like OnStar to the new comers like Ford Sync Newcomb runs through the the basic features and prices of each system.

We’ve already covered most of these systems with some depth here on inTELEMATICStoday.com so click around if you want more information about each system, but you can still click through for a broad overview.

TomTom Embraced Openness Once, Is It Time to Again?

March 9th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Strategy Analytics Roger Lanctot talks a little about the declining PND market and how companies like TomTom and Garmin might turn things around by considering an open platform.
It’s hard to overstate the power of the kind of customer connection TomTom achieved with the TomTom Live service.

…

TomTom was first in developing a connected user community willing to correct map data and POIs and share favorite routes and voices. These users also demonstrated that there was a market for content that could be downloaded to TomTom devices. Sound familiar? This is exactly the model adopted by most major handset makers in the past year following the wildly successful Apple iPhone.
This is a great point and highlights the value of what the smartphone app marketplace has achieved in recent years. I’ve discussed how important the acceptance of applications will be to the future of telematics and to Roger’s point it will be just as important for the PND suppliers if they intend to continue selling hardware on top of licensing their existing software.

TomTom has already announced partnerships with Renault and Fiat to include some of their features in embedded OEM systems, but with powerful smartphones with built in connectivity it’s going to be difficult for PND manufacturers to grow the hardware side of the business in the long run. It’s unlikely that the PND will return to the lofty levels of past years (when it was bridging the gap until smartphones hit their stride), but between potentially adopting open platforms and licensing [...] Continue Reading…

Ford Sync Feature Spotlight: API and Apps (aka AppLink)

March 9th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

Update: Ford has announced the AppLink downloadable program which will be the in-vehicle application that manages the functionality discussed in this post. It will be available first on the 2011 Ford Fiesta and will allow integration with Android and Blackberry apps.

We’ve talked about the importance of apps in the future of the telematics landscape and Ford Sync will be one of the first to come to the mass market with a product that will allow the vehicle to control applications on a bluetooth enabled device brought to the vehicle (i.e. the modern smartphone).

In general apps can be embedded in the vehicle, delivered in real time or brought into the vehicle. Most systems will represent a combination of these types of apps, but today we are talking about the way Ford Sync integrates brought in apps.

Ford has created an Application Programming Interface (API) that will allow developers to create (or modify existing) applications to not only display information on the vehicle screens but also be controlled by the voice commands and steering wheel controls of the vehicle’s infotainment system. So rather than downloading an application into the vehicle or having to plug in an audio cable but pickup the device to change songs Ford Sync will allow users to stream audio and data over the bluetooth connection (just as it does now) and control apps they are already using on their phones more safely (by keeping hands on the wheel and eyes on the road).

For launch Ford has announced three [...] Continue Reading…

Carpooling and Vanpooling Meets Facebook Meets Smart Phones Meets Paypal Meets eBay

Startups are emerging and gaining traction to serve carpoolers, vanpoolers, fleets and transit networks by integrating many of the same innovative smart phone tools and apps, GPS and LBS services, social networking strategies and even payment systems. With gas price fluctuations, congested roads, HOV time-saving opportunities, parking challenges, and climate concerns, significant growth opportunities may be on the horizon for carpool and vanpool providers.

These startups integrate the convergence of tech and social networks with profiles of some below. Comment or share your thoughts on any we have missed.

AVEGO
Avego has two main products. They have a form of carpooling they call “Shared Transport”, featuring an iPhone product, and they also have a traditional online ride-matching system. Another system, “FutureFleet” applies Shared Transport to buses and fleets. Avego systems combine GPS, GSM phone and GIS features to connect and inform riders and drivers. Their iPhone carpooling system, Avego Shared Transport, they call “real-time ridesharing for the iPhone generation.” An iPhone app has gone through several versions and has been downloaded and used in over 80 countries throughout the world.

Headquartered in Ireland, with offices in several US cities as well as a growing office in China, the company is led by Sean O’Sullivan, a seed investor in 20 high tech companies, six of which have gone public companies or acquired by larger companies. O’Sullivan was a founder and President for the first six years of the US-based MapInfo, [...] Continue Reading…

Smart and Safe Automotive Electronics

March 5th, 2010

Jeff Shariat

George’s Blog Space.com takes a broad look at smart and safe automotive electronics.
In fact, on average automobile manufacturers spend $2000 on electronic systems for every vehicle that comes off the line — in incredible increase from the $110-per-car budget of the early 1970s. This huge increase in spending is reflected in everything from engine performance to entertainment systems, security features to safety devices. Every component of the vehicle works together to provide automobiles that perform better, are more comfortable, and ultimately safer to drive.
It’s a high level look at a handful of technologies from safety devices to fuel efficiency (and he manages to work in an Apollo 11 reference). Click through for the full article.
