Telematics is a system that remotely monitors multiple aspects of a vehicle and combines that information with other data, like GPS and cellular data communication, to provide various services.
This integration allows detailed monitoring of a vehicle's status, location, speed, and health.
Common telematics features include: automated crash response, stolen vehicle disablement and recovery, local and/or remote vehicle diagnostics, driver monitoring and several types of location services including routing, navigation and location history.
