What it does

Position & Journey supports a collection of location-based services that manage vehicle data and help users in understanding how, when, and where one or many vehicles are driven. It stores location information originating from the vehicles as they undertake journeys and then transforms and exposes that data in a ready-to-consume format. It helps OEMs overcome the challenges of inaccurate location data and allows them to focus on creating the best possible connected vehicle services for their customers. 

Journey Insights 

Passenger vehicles are stationary for 96% of their lifespan. By leveraging meaningful journey insights from vehicle usage, automakers can improve driver satisfaction and deepen engagement even during times when the vehicle is not used. 
Tap into drivers’ curiosity by providing engaging practical and personalized insights that empower drivers to make better decisions about their vehicle usage, optimize their costs, and enhance their overall driving experience. Integration with smart home systems or weather data adds further convenience, such as preparing vehicles for upcoming trips based on calendar events or driving conditions.
