Field Test: BMW CarData Mid-Trip Updates
--
Recently, BMW informed us that some of their newer models are able to send data updates while the car is in motion. This is an exciting development; mid-trip data updates can enable fleet managers to see where their vehicles are during journeys, and this data makes it easier for logbook applications to distinguish between trips.
Back in 2019, our engineers had the chance to examine data provided by a linked BMW i3 as part of a field test.
We thought it was a good time for our second BMW field test during which we could query a BMW which has been equipped to send these mid-trip data updates.
In our full-length report of the field test, you can read about the discoveries our team made as they queried what the vehicle could do, as well as the potential advantages mid-trip data updates can offer to third party services like fleet management companies and logbook applications.
