The universal connectivity of customers, vehicles, and their environment provides the foundation for a multitude of new services.
The Telematics Vision: Universal Connectivity
This changes product features, business processes, and value propositions throughout a number of industries, including the automotive industry.

One Vision of DaimlerChrysler Telematics Research: Communicating Cars & Proactive Services
cars are large enough
for communication devices
cars have their own power source
for communication devices
cars have a price that is some order of
magnitudes higher than the pricefor communication devices
some cars arealready equipped with
communication devices
some cars are already equipped with sensors
(positioning, rain, road condition, ...)
services of communicating cars are desirable for car buyers and
car manufacturers alike
CommunicatingCars
ProactiveServices
Vehicles are likely pioneers of ubiquitous computing
