Abstract

Automobile usage analytics and personalization are described. In one or more implementations, a digital medium environment is described in which sensors are included with parts of automobiles, detect usage events that result from auto part usage, and produce sensor data indicative of the events. In this environment, a method is described of efficiently aggregating the sensor data and accurately determining automobile usage therefrom. Based on the automobile usage, the automobile is personalized for users. For example, personalized recommendations are made to automobile users to suggest goods, services, or information determined pertinent to the users. The aggregated sensor data can be used in other ways to personalize the automobile, such as to adjust seat positions, control climate, and so on. Further, the aggregated sensor data is used to answer queries regarding automobile usage that are made by users (e.g., manufacturers) via analytics tools of an auto usage reporting platform.
