Rapid Prototyping for Subaru


Subaru is a japanese vehicle manufacturer that offers both reliable family cars and performance cars.

  • Problem:

    Subaru approached Scorpion Automotive to offer a connected car solution for their entire customer base that can also be retrofitted to existing owners. Subaru wanted to be able to provide useful vehicle health live to their customers via an app on mobile and inbuilt car displays along with providing vehicle diagnostic data to their dealers to aid in providing support.

  • Our Solution:

    We provided a rapid prototype within a few weeks, and also helped provide the pitch that demonstrated the future of the telematics platform and the future of the connected car industry as a whole.
