Delphi Automotive’s (NYSE: DLPH) Connected Car, a first-in-its-class
product that provides car-to-cloud/cloud-to-car connectivity service,
was named a 2013 Gold Award Winner by the Edison Awards at their Annual
Gala, held in Chicago last night.
Recently launched with Verizon Wireless as Vehicle Diagnostics by
Delphi, Delphi’s Connected Car solution is a winner in the
Transportation category, one of twelve categories honored by the Edison
Awards.
“The Delphi Connected Car technology is at the top of its class. It
gives drivers a tool to track, locate and monitor their vehicle – all
with the use of a smartphone,” said Jeff Owens, Delphi’s chief
technology officer. “This device is just a glimpse of the myriad of
market-leading products Delphi’s 18,000 scientists and engineers work on
daily.”
Delphi Connected Car works in nearly every vehicle sold in the U.S. from
1996 onward and enables drivers to carry out the following features
remotely:

Locate and access family cars without having to tag the vehicle's
original location
