The AA UK, ANWB the Netherlands and OAMTC Austria have entered into a joint venture, named Intelematics Europe, to work on the development of connected car software, with products serving both consumer and business markets. It is set to provide Club members with services including remote vehicle diagnostics to ensure that should vehicles break down they are back on the road as soon as possible.

This new system will allow automatic signals to be sent from members’ vehicles to the recovery service provider – and the emergency services in the event of a crash.
