Solutions

Our modular architecture is comprised of three main components.

Driver Identity

Users of the platform automatically receive a unique driver identity. This identity is connected to the user's driving record and can be used to present a profile page or be consumed by third-party services.

...

Telemetry Collection

The lightweight telemetry application collects the data from the driving sim and uploads it.

...

Data Pipelines

All the telemetry data is processed by a pipeline architecture. It is used to provide statistics on the profile page. The data is also made accessible via views which can be pushed into data products by 3rd parties.
