Automakers are embedding telematics control units as standard across multiple passenger car segments to enhance service offerings, improve safety, and support over-the-air (OTA) updates. As vehicles become increasingly software-defined, telematics also acts as a data bridge between the vehicle, manufacturer, and user-supporting personalized driving experiences, usage-based insurance models, and real-time navigation services. These applications are driving strong growth in adoption across mid-range and premium segments.
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication is gaining traction, enabling interaction between vehicles, infrastructure, pedestrians, and networks. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are also being deployed within telematics platforms to analyze driving patterns, predict maintenance needs, and offer context-aware recommendations. Electric vehicles, which rely on software for energy management and navigation, further enhance the role of telematics in managing battery health, charging station discovery, and route planning.
Compact cars are increasingly being equipped with basic telematics modules for security and location tracking, while SUVs and premium sedans are incorporating full-featured solutions, including remote climate control, theft alerts, and real-time traffic assistance. EVs and plug-in hybrids are becoming key drivers of telematics innovation due to the need for energy monitoring and remote vehicle management features.
Expansion of 5G connectivity is enabling faster and more reliable telematics data transmission, improving real-time communication and enabling services such as remote diagnostics and OTA software updates. Demand for personalization, in-car infotainment, and usage-based insurance models is also contributing to wider adoption. Additionally, growth in subscription-based service models and connected mobility platforms is further embedding telematics as a core functionality in passenger car ecosystems.
