Zoomcar cars have a hard-installed telematics/IoT control unit hidden inside the vehicle (usually behind the dashboard or under the steering panel). This device is wired directly into the car’s CAN bus / central locking system, so it can send electronic lock–unlock signals just like a physical key would. It also has its own SIM card, GPS module, and microcontroller, which means the car is basically online 24×7. When you tap lock in the Zoomcar app, your phone doesn’t talk to the car directly. The request goes to Zoomcar’s backend servers, which authenticate the booking and then send a command over the cellular network (2G/4G) to that telematics unit inside the car. The device receives the command, verifies it, and triggers the central locking actuator electronically. That’s why unlocking can feel instant in open areas but laggy in basements or low-signal zones. The same hardware is also used to track location, trip time, speed, harsh braking, and idling — which is how Zoomcar knows if you overspeed, exit the allowed zone, or return the car late. It’s classic fleet-management IoT tech, repurposed for consumer car sharing. You’re not unlocking a car — you’re sending an API call to a vehicle. Follow @techuila_ for more!
