Like other automakers, Toyota Connected will research connecting cars to each other and to homes, as well as telematics features that learn and anticipate a driver\u2019s habits. The company, like other automakers, will explore transmitting a driver\u2019s health data to a doctor or driving patterns to an insurance company so people are insured based on where they travel, Toyota said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/business\/technology\/article\/Toyota-forms-company-to-prepare-for-new-mobility-7226652.php\">http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/business\/technology\/article\/Toyota-for...226652.php<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very nice goal to have \u201call things connected\u201d in Toyota\u2019s and Microsoft\u2019s case is \u201cSingularity\u201d lite meaning physical structures are connected; however, bio connection does not exist (only consumer profile information is available and integrated).
