[attachment=26818]
telematics
the convergence of wireless communications, location technology, and in-vehicle electronics which is being used to integrate the automobile into the information age
The U.S. Passenger Car Market: Current Device Options
Autonomous navigation systems
Integrated multimedia systems
On-board personal computers
Rear-seat entertainment systems
Installed wireless phones
Can be integrated with mayday service
Handheld wireless phones and PDAs
Not telematics devices
Could affect telematics demand
Similar technologies/functions, but portable
Wireless integration soon possible
Commercial Vehicle Telematics Market Overview
On-board integrated telematics systems
On-board computer, GPS, wireless communications, interface with tractor data bus
Driver interface in cab for data and voice communications with dispatcher
Screen for incoming text messages with keyboard or touchscreen for sending messages
Future Trends in Passenger Car Telematics
Simple interface
Technological capabilities must be balanced by safety concerns and consumer interests
Voice recognition and text-to-voice
May be key to safety while car is moving
Systems may limit some functions to parked car
“Plug and play”
Consumer will be able to install next-generation telematics and multimedia systems
Overcomes disparity in design and life cycles
