Imagine all cars of a company equipped with chips, communicating and transmitting GPS coordinates, mileage, last check etc. Or one of last year’s finalists of the M2M Challenge, Mobilisis, who developed Magsense, a state-of-the-art solution for managing outdoor parking spaces in shopping centers and airports. It detects and counts the number of vacant parking spaces, and helps automatically identify offenders.
Many big car manufacturers also use M2M in their vehicles, and not only for navigation, security and safety systems. baimos technologies and automotive component supplier Marquardt released the BlueID technology. The digital key ring enables smartphones to control a car, and open the car or the top remotely, lock it. Car rentals and car sharing companies could profit from this technology and make renting/sharing easier. Drive-now by BMW and Sixt issues a chip, with which a car can be locked and unlocked upon renting the car with the accompanying app that also helps finding a car nearby.
