Vehicle Data

Overview​

The vehicle data domain, with a focus on telematics data, aims to harness information collected from onboard sensors and GPS systems to enhance vehicle performance, safety, and user experience. Telematics data provides real-time insights into vehicle operations, driving behavior, and environmental impact, enabling the development of innovative products and services.

Key Benefits​

  • Operational Efficiency: By monitoring vehicle performance and driver behavior, telematics helps optimize sensor performance, reduce warranty costs, and minimize development time, leading to significant cost savings
  • Predictive Maintenance: Telematics data enables proactive maintenance by identifying potential issues before they become critical, reducing downtime and extending the lifespan of vehicles
  • Safety Improvements: Real-time monitoring of driving behavior allows for corrective actions, reducing accidents and enhancing overall vehicle safety
  • Regulatory Compliance: Vehicle Data systems help ensure compliance with regulations, avoiding fines and legal issues
  • Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: By providing accurate vehicle status data and improving service reliability, telematics data helps businesses meet customer expectations and improve satisfaction
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: The insights gained from telematics data support strategic decisions, such as fleet expansion, vehicle replacement, and investment in new technologies

Requesting Data​

Getting Access​

All requests to access GM data must be reviewed and approved by GM’s privacy team via the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) tool. GM’s PIA tool helps to identify, assess, and mitigate privacy risks associated with a particular product or service—especially when it collects, uses, stores, or shares personal data. If a PIA has not been approved for your use case, you can submit one using the link: epia.gm.com.
