Berg Insight’s definition of an aftermarket car telematics solution in this reportincludes telematics devices created by a company other than the carmakers and areretrofitted into vehicles mainly via OBD-II and blackbox devices based on both cellular/GNSSand RF technology. The connected car is a major trend in the automotive industry. After manyyears of development and false starts, car telematics has gained momentum and virtually allof the world’s leading carmakers have launched mass-market services in key regions.
