Otonomo provides a cloud‑native platform that ingests raw telemetry from multiple automotive OEMs, normalizes it to a unified data model, and delivers it through secure, consent‑managed APIs and a subscription marketplace. The service offers real‑time and batch data streams with built‑in GDPR/CCPA compliance, enabling insurers, fleet operators, and smart‑city platforms to develop data‑driven services without building their own pipelines.

Problem
Connected vehicle ecosystems generate large volumes of raw telemetry, but automakers and service providers lack a unified, secure mechanism to aggregate, normalize, and distribute this data to third‑party developers. Without standardized access, creating data‑driven services such as usage‑based insurance, fleet optimization, or urban mobility analytics is costly and time‑consuming.
Solution
Otonomo provides a cloud‑native vehicle data platform that ingests raw signals from multiple OEMs, applies privacy‑preserving transformations, and maps them to a common data model. The platform exposes the normalized data through secure, rate‑limited APIs and a marketplace where authorized third parties can subscribe to real‑time or historical datasets. Built‑in consent management ensures compliance with regional regulations while preserving driver anonymity. By decoupling data collection from service development, Otonomo enables automakers and partners to launch new connected‑car offerings without building their own data pipelines.
Target Audience
Primary customers are automotive OEMs seeking to monetize telematics, and third‑party service providers such as insurers, fleet operators, and municipal mobility platforms that require reliable, compliant vehicle data feeds.
