Wireless Information Systems Surge Ahead in Vehicles: Telematics, Intelligent Transportation (ITS) and Real-Time Traffic Information, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

Telematics: Many near-term advances in car and truck technology will lie in on-board software, wireless communications and convenience features known broadly as “telematics.”  Using cellular telephone technology, fee-based telematics networks, which allow drivers to check e-mail and online services for weather, stock quotes or driving directions merely by voicing a command, are already in place.  Many other features are also provided.  GM’s OnStar is a leading telematics system.  Such systems offer varying degrees of networked services linking cars to external systems such as global positioning systems (GPS).  The external systems monitor the position of each vehicle and perform tasks such as unlocking doors or switching off lights remotely upon request.  They also dispatch service vehicles or medical aid when necessary.  More recent innovations include ultrasonic rear sensors that warn drivers when they are about to back into something, and voice-activated phone dialing and navigation plotting.
OnStar services (www.onstar.com) are available in GM cars worldwide.  The OnStar RemoteLink App affords users the ability to view vehicle diagnostics, such as tire pressure, oil life and gasoline levels, start the vehicle remotely and get navigation assistance.
