“ If you break down a telematics solution into its constituent parts , you ’ ve got the hardware , you ’ ve got the connectivity , the platform , and the service – we play in all these parts . Being part of the Vodafone family the connectivity is naturally a core part — we have our factory for the design and manufacture of hardware , and of course we have the platform and the service network covering over 50 countries . The fact that we can bring all of those together makes us unique and makes us a leader in the market ,” Brown says .

An example of this from a safety perspective is how assessments are made of the road ahead , which has been adopted on major highways , but is still yet to leverage this to the highest degree .
With vehicles connected to other vehicles and data shared with infrastructure – which will in turn be shared with other road users – this unlocks new functions to enable realtime insights on the road . This is V2X .
With V2X , road users could begin to see real-time updates in the vehicle made useful to them as they travel . Vodafone Automotive
