This is an ooof. to straighten the timeline of events as i monitor the connected car space --

- 2016 YC invests in Smartcar.

- 2019 Otonomo lost lawsuit to Smartcar after stealing/copying them. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19719380

- 2021 YC decides to invest in Enode which cloning Smartcar. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26468448

- 2022 YC decides to invest in Telematica which cloning Smartcar.

I give this another 12 months for YC to invest in the next clone.

Thanks for sharing this. Smartcar was not funded by YC. And as I have replied below we have a different take on connected cars.
