Porsche Cayenne Turbo - RSportsCars.com (#)

„Approved to Thatcham Category 5 standard, the highest in the UK, the system features a discreet pocket-sized card, which should be carried in the car when it is in motion. If the car is moved without the card on board, or should the car sense itself being lifted or towed, the tracking system is instantly alerted and, using the latest GPS technology, is able to track and locate the car. The Porsche VTS is tailored to fit every car in the range ...“

„Our caravan of Cayennes and other vehicles stays in touch by way of two-way radios. The lead car - on this trip always driven by trail boss Hass, who has his "Milepost" beside him and a GPS receiver on the dashboard -- warns those behind of the occasional logging truck or any other hazards ahead. But today the coast is clear and we sometimes run at triple digits (and we're talking miles per hour here, not k/ph!)“

Spy Kids - AutoWeek (#)

„By far the most reliable and effective—and most expensive—systems use embedded data recording and vehicle sensors to monitor driving, allowing parents to see how the car is being accelerated and braked, as well as the basics of speed, average speed and distance traveled. For $389, Alltrack USA (www.all trackusa.com) customers get a small black-box recording device that uses GPS tracking and a cellular connection to transmit data about how and where the car is being operated ...“

GPS Navigation Products - Mobile Electronics Buyer's Guide - Motor Trend (#)

„Clearly, with units spanning in price from under $400 for portable units to over $2,000 for embedded systems as part of sophisticated audio/video systems offered by both the vehicle manufacturers and the aftermarket, never have the choices been so varied. While factory-installed GPS systems are offered on an ever-increasing number of vehicle platforms -- now including many mid-priced, mainstream cars -- it will still be a while before such systems will be commonplace on entry-level models.“

„Telenav will also help find the lowest gas prices in your immediate area, find the nearest parking garage and serve up 3-D maps showing you how to get there. Unlimited routing is currently available from most of the big cellular carriers on GPS enabled phones for $10 a month. The biggest drawback we can see to the maps-on-cellphone thing is, well, trying to read maps on a tiny little cellphone. Luckily the Telenav service gives audible direction, too.“

GM CEO Wagoner Heads Convergence 2006 Speaker Lineup (#)

„If all vehicles on the road were equipped with a simple antenna, a computer chip and GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, a car could know the exact position of the vehicles surrounding it. And those other vehicles would know where it was, too: whether it was in a blind spot, stopped ahead on the highway but hidden from view, around a blind corner or blocked by other vehicles.“

F-Secure : News from the Lab - January of 2007 (#)

„Longtime readers of the weblog might remember that we posted on testing a car's Bluetooth enabled phone to see if it could be infected by malware. That time nothing happened, but reports on the Internet now say that you can actually get a virus in your car – or to be more specific, on your TomTom GPS system.“
