Safer Ride for Indians: Uber to Adopt Connected Car Technology

Uber, one of the greatest mobile applications, is giving the most convenient and user-friendly transportation services. Gone are the days, when people used to wave their hands for taxis or fiddling their bags for paper receipts because as of now it is only the word digital.

Yes, as the concept of digitization began to roll, people have started losing very less in terms of time and money.

Now back to the subject, Uber has promised with more security for its passengers through adopting the connected car technology. So let’s learn about the advancement of this application.

Connected Car Technology: What is Uber India planning?

The application developers around the world have never failed to surprise us; true, we have a lot of examples in our hands, but for now let us concentrate on Uber.

Promotional rides, convenient services, but wait! Did we forget unsafe cities, or did we choose to ignore it? Anyone in their right mind will choose to get more concerned about the latter and not gaining privileges. To counter such obstacles, Uber adopted the connected car technology.

Connected Car Technology: Let’s understand More

Before that, it is better we know something about the connected car technology. Autohawk, a vehicle monitoring system is to be implemented for monitoring the physical aspects/status of a vehicle. Generally, it is necessary that one should have a real-time picture about the condition/ physical parameters of a vehicle in use.

Since Autohawks are supported with cloud technology, the task of remote accessibility is definitely a possible one. App-based taxi services are garnering more attention due to the fact that they are reliable as well as affordable.

The term reliability here stresses the health or physical conditions of a vehicle. Like I mentioned, all the parameters should be tracked in real-time so that there is no compromise in the quality of customer service provided.

The engine, gearbox, coolant levels, odometer information, and much more, well, the monitoring of these parameters should be given more priority. Through Autohawk, one can easily perform such tasks. With smart cities coming up, surely one doesn’t want to see a broken-down car.

The CAN Bus

What I’m speaking? It’s looking like some gibberish, but it is one of the major elements behind the principle of connected car technology. CAN, short for Controller Area Network is a high-integrity serial bus system that can be found in every vehicle.

The bus system, which is connected to the security system and other units helps to monitor various parameters of a vehicle.

With remote monitoring, any vehicle can be easily immobilized or be given safe instructions in case of the need of a service.
