CUPRA Tavascan, Born and Raval will share vehicle and traffic information from sensor and image data
- Thread starter Syphon
- Start date
Yes the cars already come with a data connection for over the air / updates ,connecting to the CUPRA app etc.
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
The cynical bit of me wonders if this is a marketing message from the VW empire without any substance - allegedly then it's already live (from January 26). 40 countries, would the total number of Cupra EVs have passed 1 million yet? Potentially then they capturing trillions of data points every day and processing them in real-time. That's up there with MS/Google/Amazon for compute resource capability. Some 40 years of global enterprise IT makes one doubt such claims....

This is the market in traffic data. Probably already doing it or changed supplier. Google and Car Play do their thing but probably buy into it. TomTom and the other systems in cabs etc doing their stuff. Microsoft Windows and your Amazon Alexa system are all feeding of traffic flow data. Think at this point I just concluded they are buying and selling it to each other. Been going on for years 
. Some will be closed say withing Google Maps. Possibly doing your own Vag one they can save a bob or two by not buying from Google. Even if you arent using the car's navigation system connected cars are still sending movement data unless you set it to hide yourself but then you wont get firmware updates. 
Ofcourse if you aren't using their built in navigation then I dont reckon it's helping you. May be some aspects do.
Other than that the text seems to be AI generated released in their press pack . It's all old hat in the world of connected cars.
Amazon delivery drivers and the like drop a POI at your front door. Some of the delivery drivers cant mark it as delivered until they get to your POI... then they throw it over the fence. I joke. The POIs are then bought and sold to mapping companies for validation. The connected car tracks are sold together with mobile phone tracks to assist in making.

Nissan i believe do something similar.
I had a new Nissan Qashqai the other week for work for a few days (very nice by the way],
It had Google Maps built in and gave warnings while on the M23 i have never had before in any other car like 'Caution Police reported in next mile' and 'Warning report of Mobile Camera 1000 yards ahead'

They probably do. That's how they got the Anglesey murder. When the boot was lifted and the crossbow removed from the cars digital data being returned back to base. Land Rover Discovery.
Now I will have to give link.
Anglesey crossbow murder: Why was Gerald Corrigan killed?
Fiona Corrigan does not know why her father was shot at his home by someone he did not know.

& this
Operation Blue Fulgent
A crossbow shooting in North Wales. Analysts used Chorus to interpret masses of call and telematics data to identify the offender and secure a conviciton.

May not go to such extremes for a stolen car thou. Murder yes. The Land Rovers telematics was a key. Its believed it was a hit job but why they dont know.
