Verizon is retrofitting millions of vehicles on the road with the connected car experience by connecting to the telematics network with Verizon Vehicle. The system works by plugging an OBD module into the diagnostics port, clipping a two-way bluetooth speaker to you visor, and accessing data through a smartphone app.
Andrés Irlando, CEO of Verizon Telematics, took the stage at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. After giving the requisite rundown of how awesome Verizon is, Irlando and Telematics' President Erik Goldman finally got to the point. Verizon Vehicle is a subscription-based after-market service that provides near real-time diagnostics of your car, roadside assistance aided with GPS, and connections with car mechanics.
