Ford was one of the first to use telemetry on race car (Formula 1), many years
ago.  Of course I can't tell you the protocol (even if I **DID** know it, which
I don't).

Actually there is a good discussion of low level, light weight UART based serial
protocols in this months Embedded System Magazine.
