AutoPi.io ApS is a company that produces advanced Internet of Things (IoT) devices based on the Raspberry Pi™ and an extendable cloud platform for vehicles. Their flagship product, the AutoPi, is an LTE OBDII enabled device that is able to transmit vehicle data, in addition to collecting data from onboard sensors. AutoPi is applying for a Manufacturing License to continue producing a DIMO compatible OBD devices.
AutoPi’s temporary hardware manufacturing license has expired and as per DIP 4, this proposal serves as a review of their application for a permanent hardware manufacturing license. Additionally, this proposal provides transparency to the DIMO community regarding the new DIMO-compatible hardware that AutoPi.io is already delivering to the ecosystem, and specifies the commitments they must uphold as licensed hardware manufacturer.
AutoPi.io has submitted an application to continue to manufacture and support DIMO-compatible devices. Over 13,000 devices have been sold to customers on the DIMO network. From DIMO's early days, AutoPi has been a key partner with DIMO in providing functional devices quickly.
