A simple definition is that telematics is the term given to the technology that enables remote access to vehicle data over a wireless network.
In short, telematics refers to the integration of wireless communications and computing, sending, receiving and storing information via telecommunication devices.
More specifically, the integrated use of telecommunications and informatics, also known as ICT (Information and Communications Technology).
These devices allow drivers to browse the Internet, send and receive e-mails, receive live traffic updates, listen to satellite radio, and perform various other activities.
More commonly, telematics have been applied specifically to the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology integrated with computers and mobile communications technology in automotive navigation systems.
Most narrowly, the term has evolved to refer to the use of such systems within road vehicles, in which case the term vehicle telematics may be used.
