    I work on electric steering systems. There’s a lot of info on the OBDII bus–depending on the complexity of the device and your particular vehicle, you could use it to track driving habits/efficiency, location, interpreting trouble codes, and plenty more. If it has some local data logging, it could even be used as a “black box” in the case of an accident.

      My first thought was a self hosted black box type device. But I didn’t see a GPS option listed. Sounds like it would be really useful as a vehicle monitor as well. Could catch issues and provide logs.
