Telematics 2.0

Telematics 2.0 is the name for the Internet of things-based telematics technology for the automotive industry.[1] As a key part of **Fleet digitalization**, Telematics 2.0 utilizes smartphone-based sensors rather than the dedicated black box devices or **telematics control units** used in traditional pay as you drive insurance and **Fleet management**. Telematics 2.0 solutions reached the consumer market in 2012/3 with solutions being offered by leading auto insurers such as AIG and AssetFENCE in the US.[2][3] These systems use the phone's built-in **GPS** module to function as a **Vehicle tracking system**, collecting **telemetry data** to enable **Driver scoring**.

A commercial pilot of SafeDrive was run 2013 in Sweden, where the shortcomings of the smartphone as measurement probe were handled by digital signal processing.[4]
