The article entitled “How Uber Engineering Increases Safe Driving with Telematics” by Beinstein and Sumers (2016) provides insig ht into Uber’s utilization of telematics data to improve road safety and eradicate unsafe driving habits. Under the company’s mobile architecture, Global Positioning System (GPS) information from each trip is processed under Trip Services. This is combined with the information gathered via Uber’s Vehicle Movement Processor (VMP), which analyses key indicators including harsh braking and sudden acceleration, which will complement and enhance the credibility of the telematics data obtained from the drivers.

I was working in the navy as a sailor and decided to leave to further my studies. I was always wondering about unman equipment when I was in the navy and came upon the course telematics. One of the modules in telematics is technical communication which I will foresee giving me a problem. I am very weak in my languages skill, both English and my mother tongue. Due to being weak in my languages, my communication skill is poor as well. I have problem bringing what I wanted to say across peoples. However, I did improve sli
