Hands up , then , who saw this one coming … a leading telecommunications provider giving similar treatment to cars as it would handheld digital devices ? While it would have made for a ludicrous conversation a decade or so ago , connectivity has become a staple in modern life , naturally progressing towards various applications in the automotive sector .
EV manufacturers have embarked on a journey that will mark its place in history as the most significant evolution of transport , which also comes with a lot of responsibility to protect drivers and passengers in alignment with their contributions to global sustainable change .
This can be witnessed throughout countless connectivity exploits and , as explained by David Brown , Head of Connected Mobility Product Portfolio at Vodafone Automotive , telecommunications and digital services play an integral role in the future of electrified mobility .
The services provided by Vodafone Automotive – a global service subsidiary of Vodafone – include hardware and software and Brown leads the product management team to deliver next-generation connectivity-based services to customers looking to improve road safety and vehicle security , efficiencies , and emissions reduction . Non-connected services are supplied as upgrades to on-board vehicle systems and connectivity-based services are fulfilled through multiple solutions , including vehicle-to-everything ( V2X ) services , which enable communications between cars and their surrounding infrastructure , driving behaviour monitoring and crash reconstruction .
In the vehicle security area the company offers professional services to locate and retrieve cars to minimise vehicle losses , as well as solutions that dynamically predict the probability of an event occurring over a certain period of time , such as notifying drivers on risky zones .
“ 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 ”
