As we said in a recent article on our website, AT&T tries to extend its roots in other industries separated from the cell phone service one, but which, in some points are very linked to it. So does Verizon right now, the biggest competitor for AT&T in this moment. So, recently, the Verizon Vehicle service was launched and this will help you have a better experience when you are driving, especially if you are or might be clause to be in danger.
200 million cars are suitable for the system
The service can be used in a large variety of cars, at least 200 million because it functions in the systems of cars made in the last two decades. So, it won’t be a pain in the as to get one and to make it work well. Introduced this week in the Auto Show from Detroit, Verizon Vehicle has the promise to ensure high security measures for cars which hadn’t such privilege until these moments.The system provides drivers with real-time information about how their cars are functioning and allows them to call for GPS-guided roadside assistance in case of a breakdown or accident.
It detects your problems
Plus, drivers can track very easy their cars if they can’t remember where they were parked or, worse, if they were stolen. Also, each driver will be announced on its smartphone when the parking time of its car in a certain place is about to expire or if the vehicle has major problems which might cause them major problems in the near future. About the system, Erik Goldman, president of Verizon's new Telematics division delivered a few words: "Verizon Vehicle is a unique and truly holistic aftermarket solution available to over 200 million vehicles on the road today. It affords millions of drivers the power of knowing when things aren't working well, potentially before a breakdown occurs."
