We work with car manufacturers, data service providers, mobile operators and OEMs to prove what is possible with new technology and integrate new and multiple data sources into existing hardware and embedded systems.

Mobile diagnostics over Bluetooth

For a major US vendor, an OBD-II software library on Android for car diagnostics over Bluetooth, to be fed into an intelligent network and integrated into traffic data systems (e.g. with vehicle velocities, fuel consumption).
