Honestly, this is something Hotz (comma.ai) should've done a while ago. They already have it somehow. (Don't mean this in a bad way, I like Hotz and his work).

Anyway, congrats on shipping and I will def. try it out since I have a product on a similar vertical. Actually, how may I get in touch?

This is 'just' aggregating the APIs the car manufacturers already expose (for their own apps or 3rd party) - without any additional hardware/direct car integration. So I don't think it's directly comparable.

I tested out the Renault reverse engineered API and BMW Cardata -> each one of them has it's (major) downsides. Especially unfortune for BMW Cardata, which is an official product that had a lot of downtime and really irregular data updates (at least for older cars).

So hats off to the Telematica guys for trying to bridge all this together.
