Once the telematics was invented, the technology itself changed. Thus, it changed the future of the trucking business as well.
Since day one, this invention continues to impact the progress of the industries, also including the trucking industry.
4. History of Telematics
The origin of the term telematics comes from the French ‘telematique’. The term was first introduced in the period of the 1970’s by Simon Nora and Alan Minc.
Accordingly, the first introduction of the word appeared in a report made to the French Government on the subject of computerization of society.
As the years flew by, who knew that the wireless system would play a huge role in the trucking business.
This technology is not only beneficial for the local CDL driving but most of all for the OTR trucking.
To make it clear, telematics is known as any technology which has integrated the use of the telecommunication, information and communication technology.
