The telematics/Car-PC's we've been designing also have CDMA/GPRS, CAM, 
WiFi and WiMax soon, USB2.0, 1394, 10/100 ethernet, Bluetooth and 
Cardbus. The telematics/Car-PC's allow the driver and passengers to have 
real time navigation, voice over IP, and high speed satellite 
connectivity to the internet while the vehicle is in motion. The driver 
can be following the on screen maps while the kids in the back seat can 
be watching a Mpeg movie or playing their Xbox or Playstation2 network 
games. The telematics/Car-PC's will also allow for full speed video 
teleconferencing and several other data services while the vehicle is 
cruising down the interstate or stuck in city traffic.

They are in-dash PC's that act as application servers (PVR, 
Teleconferencing, VoIP) and as routers for all the wireless network 
services outside the vehicle and devices used in the vehicle (laptop, 
PDA, Xbox etc). LinuxBIOS is a definite must since you can't wait a 
minute or so for the PC to boot after you start the car.
