With the wealth of information available on the Internet, there is a pressing need for a standards-based platform that allows the mobile vehicle to access telematics services that leverage this information in a safe and consistent manner while minimizing driver distraction. This paper discusses a distributed architecture that enables the rapid development and deployment of such services by offloading data- and compute-intensive operations to a remote server, while executing location-sensitive and vehicle-centric services on the vehicle. These services may range from safety and diagnostics services to multi-media infotainment. It further examines how the various underlying technologies from different spheres such as location, wireless, satellite, Internet and m-Commerce are brought together to complement each other, as well as the relevant emerging standards in each area.
