ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vehicle tracking system

A vehicle tracking system is like a game of hide-and-seek for your car or truck.

Let's pretend that your car is a person named "Caroline" who loves to play hide-and-seek with you. You can't always see where Caroline is hiding, but with a vehicle tracking system, you can use a special device to find her.

The device is like a special walkie-talkie that talks to Caroline's walkie-talkie. The device sends a message to Caroline's walkie-talkie and asks, "Caroline, where are you?"

Caroline's walkie-talkie replies with her location information, like her street, city, and state. This information is sent back to the device, which then sends it to your phone or computer.

Now you know exactly where Caroline is hiding, even if you can't see her. That's because the device is always talking to Caroline's walkie-talkie and updating you on her location.

A vehicle tracking system is like the game of hide-and-seek, but instead of hiding people, you are hiding your car. With a vehicle tracking system, you can always know where your car is, even if you can't see it. This can be helpful if you lose your car in a parking lot, or if you want to keep an eye on your car to make sure it stays safe.
