Abstract

Telematics is a technology that allows vehicle tracking and monitoring. This paper investigates its legal implications in Qatar, where road fatalities are high, but considers the results with international applicability. It reviews the current laws that govern telematics and evaluates their compatibility with constitutional rights or principles, especially privacy. It also examines how telematics can enhance road safety by providing data and feedback on various driving factors. The paper finds that telematics can offer significant benefits for traffic regulation in Qatar, but also poses some legal challenges that need to be addressed.
