Honestly, this is something Hotz (comma.ai) should've done a while ago. They already have it somehow. (Don't mean this in a bad way, I like Hotz and his work).

Anyway, congrats on shipping and I will def. try it out since I have a product on a similar vertical. Actually, how may I get in touch?

This is 'just' aggregating the APIs the car manufacturers already expose (for their own apps or 3rd party) - without any additional hardware/direct car integration. So I don't think it's directly comparable.

I tested out the Renault reverse engineered API and BMW Cardata -> each one of them has it's (major) downsides. Especially unfortune for BMW Cardata, which is an official product that had a lot of downtime and really irregular data updates (at least for older cars).

So hats off to the Telematica guys for trying to bridge all this together.

Sure, please email us at abhishek@telematica.so and we can get you started!
