Summary
Since the first car sensor was created in 1968, vehicles have become exponentially more electronic and software-driven. In fact, some even have hundreds of sensors generating gigabits of data each day. In their vision of building a marketplace for connected car services and the monetization of cars, the team at Tantalum is taking advantage of all this data. For example, the ability to collect data about the way people drive (whether they're speeding, obeying the traffic rules, etc.) will have a big impact on their risk profile, which in turn could lower their insurance premium rates.
Another use case is voice recognition for parking experiences, whereby saying the demand, "Park my car" uses location-based data and payment information already embedded in the app to create a seamless and simple experience all around. Other use cases include roadside assistance, improved fuel experiences, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and an automated 911 feature.
Tune in to hear Ozgur Tohumcu, the CEO of Tantalum, discuss all of these exciting use cases and more, and visit tantalumcorporation.com.

| 0:30.0 | My guest today is Oscar Tumshoo. He is the CEO of a company called Tantalum Corporation is the website. |

| 0:44.0 | Antsol, what's the idea behind the company? Sure. The idea behind the |

| 1:01.0 | If I can expand that a little bit, if you look at the history of cars, |
| 1:05.2 | there used to be four wheels and a steering wheel, maybe until 1960s. As a matter of fact, |
| 1:12.2 | the first sensor in a car was introduced in 1968 by Bosch in Germany. |
| 1:19.7 | And since then, we have seen cars becoming more and more electronic over the years they have become more |
| 1:26.0 | software and less hardware. Of course becoming more software-centric, a lot of things becoming |
| 1:32.0 | driven by software, more sensors. |
| 1:34.0 | You're basically going to a domain where cars are generating a lot of data about what's going on. |
| 1:40.0 | And these are starting from the very basic things like location data, but if you go into some more niche domains, I mean even some cars or sensors like they could track how many times a global compartment is being. cars have |
