Is There a Charge for Telematics?
1 Answers
Telematics services require payment. From the perspective of the costs involved in providing telematics services, they mainly consist of three parts: hardware costs (on-board terminals and software), communication costs (data traffic costs), and content costs. The hardware cost can be considered as part of the vehicle and is generally included in the vehicle price, while the communication and content costs are the main components of telematics charges. Below is an introduction to telematics: 1. Overview: Telematics enables integrated networks for intelligent traffic management, smart dynamic information services, and vehicle control. It is a typical application of IoT technology in the transportation sector, an essential path for the mobile internet and IoT to develop in depth and substance, and a convergence technology for future advancements in information communication, environmental protection, energy saving, and safety. 2. Functions: The number of vehicles equipped with telematics functions in the market is gradually increasing, but the functions are generally similar, such as remote locking/unlocking, vehicle starting, air conditioning control, vehicle anti-theft, audio/text message push, emergency rescue, and vehicle information viewing. These telematics services primarily allow control of some basic vehicle functions through a mobile app, with applications focusing on navigation, weather checking, online music, or news broadcasting.
