Is anybody else using the OnBoard Diagnostic port? Is there some connector for an Arduino? I love this approach.
Considering the possibilities, I'm very much surprised that Google hasn't entered this space to supplement their traffic intelligence. Just look at the possibilities of the Torque Android app and this Mojio dongle to see how powerful it is. If Google came out with a bluetooth OBD-II dongle, they could integrate it into Google Maps/Nav and Google Now, both on Android and iOS. And you don't need an expensive cellular c…

I'm also excited to see a local (Vancouver) company with such a polished offer. I'll be following this one closely.

If true, they've already got data without a dongle required.

I wouldn't be surprised if google acquired these guys to get into the space. Just imagine if it was tightly integrated with Android...and then imagine your google phone speaking perfectly with your google self-driving car. Oh the possibilities.
Imagine having an accurate trip-time estimate, adjusted regularly with information on which parking spots are available, and which entrance of a parking lot will have less congestion.
The high cost of driverless cars will make them take a while to catch on. But a cheap dongle can crowdsource this info to benefit us all.

That would be a pretty cool idea. The only thing that Moj.io has over what you're proposing is the ability to be always-on, even when a phone is not in the car (hence the touted ability to detect hit & runs and towing). It would be interesting to maybe have a system that uses and assists apps on the phone but can switch over to its own connection when in a parked car.
