Compared with the situation in Japan, in addition to the basic map navigation, and other functions more or less the same, the Americans seem to pay more attention to failures, difficulties or help emergency services. When the drivers are many inconvenient time, when life is threatened, in the United States across the interstate highway encounter all kinds of time will not help the situation, the U.S. automotive telematics services can best play to their advantages. In addition, U.S. manufacturers pay more attention to long-distance monitoring and maintenance, remote diagnosis when the vehicle in question is likely to send to the owners of maintenance warning. Moreover, Americans will use automotive telematics services in special departments, for example, the Government passed legislation requiring the relevant security agencies use technology to provide 911 cars long-distance services, said San Diego police rely on such services to the law and order report, which will be more time Highway Patrol spent outdoors or in the course of handling cases, reduce the time in the office.
The traffic in real-time traffic information, e-mail and Internet entertainment services, the state has lagged behind the United States. According to an expert analysis of the reasons for this situation is due to "some (U.S.) car companies will be large-scale long-range information services to the market in the process, underestimated the technologies and promotion of the difficulties."
Telematics services with the enthusiastic
Japan's automobile manufacturers that will in-vehicle information services have such a high enthusiasm primary reason for the popularity of the Internet background, people now tend to have in any location (home, mobile and outdoor environment) access to the information you want, even in the car on their own is no exception, the increasingly strong demand Secondly, to i-mode mobile phone as the representative to the more mature evolution of the information terminals, many users from the psychological and habits that can accept in-vehicle information terminal; In addition, car navigation systems with the increasing popularity of car show Panels and other electronic components advances in technology, hardware-related technical conditions are ripe. Of course, as stated above, the manufacturers hope that through IT technology to enhance their competitiveness and stimulate the sluggish car market, it is also an important reason.
"Automobile manufacturers are remote information processing functions, as necessary to provide a competing service, and increase customer loyalty as a means." World's leading market research firm ABI Research in charge of the car market Frank Viquez said.
Is not only manufacturers, the original automotive industry and those not related to electronic and telecommunications enterprises have begun to distance information service this huge market interest. Between enterprises in different sectors of joint development began emerging, such as car manufacturers and network operators to co-operation between manufacturers and IT vendors, and so on. It also reflects: manufacturers can no longer rely solely on the 1990s to the rise of cooperation in the reorganization of the capital to seek ways to survive, and the direction of the reorganization will be more dependent on technology, the IT technology and services attaches particular importance. |
