Introduction

Car-borne information system is an electronic system

that provides all kinds of information for car drivers and
passengers.
It consists of car-borne information terminal and
information service out of the car
They are integrated by mobile communication technique
and wireless network.
It not only includes information display and entertainment
device in the car, but also serves as a bridge among car,
mobile commerce and traffic information service
