Comments and Questions:
The main aim of this thesis is to design a concept of data usage (smart connect, autonomous driving analysis, and telematics data) from smart cars for enterprise and end-users. The topic represents a complex area with many components and stakeholders, exciting and relevant to current research.
The author correctly described the current state-of-the-art (car telematics, vehicle-to-everything, usage-based insurance, and car-sharing) within the initial literature review. The areas of the concept (car-sharing and dealer-based insurance) are correct. The concept was validated with the main stakeholders of automotive, telematics, and car-sharing businesses. I would recommend summarizing their feedback also within the conclusion.
Validator: similarity score is 15% (iThenticate), including direct quotes and paraphrases. In a few cases, references are included at the end of the paragraph.
Questions and remarks to the defence: 1) What is the architecture of the proposed concept? 2) Could the author identify data flows in it?
Conclusion: The Master Thesis is recommended for the defence.
Suggested Grade: 2
