[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 651511, member: 927"] The cost per unit is closer to $550 per car. This includes the telematics device, wiring, and installation. Installing in a car that is going to be ADA'd seems stupid to me too. The device can be moved to the new vehicle, but the installation is throw away. Finally, I certainly agree that having a discussion over 90 seconds is ridiculous. Discussions should be over patterns or big discrepancies. That being said, Telematics sites have a very large improvement in performance, safety, and automotive costs vs. non-telematics sites. Last year with 1,500 drivers that was true, and it is true this year with over 10,000. We will see if it holds true next year with many more drivers deploying. The reason that UPS didn't just deploy this everywhere was that they wanted to analyze the changes in the test sites. It has been a slow and detailed analysis. Dispite your belief that it is a "technological gimmick of dubious value", the cost statements say otherwise. Again, I agree with you regarding the examples you cite, just not regarding the value of the tool. P-Man [/QUOTE]
