Introduction
What is “vehicular commerce”? What is a vehicle?
“any means in or by which someone travels or something is carried or conveyed; a means of conveyance or transport: a motor vehicle; space vehicles.” [1]
Some have indicated that the term “vehicular commerce” should apply only when using the “computing and communications functions of a vehicle” [2].

A broader definition
“Vehicular Commerce” also needs to include applications that relate to the existence of vehicular movement (not necessarily using the computing or communications capabilities of the vehicle itself).
GPS! While GPS has many more uses than just in vehicles,
we cannot ignore the prevalence of GPS applications meant for vehicles (e.g. mapping, routing, POI, LBS, weather updates).

Mobile Hot-Spots
Products already exist! TracNet InMotion Technology “Roll your own” (Make Magazine)

Other
Vehicle-To-Vehicle ad hoc networks Low “contact time” and narrow spectrum
make this a “future” item [2] What about other Bluetooth applications?
Lots of hands-free headsets, little else Any other applications the class knows
about?

Economic Viability and Business Models
OnStar subscription model is by far the best example I could find.
GPS is a part of daily life, but it’s free. Related services are the key.
Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is a big question mark.

The Future
Leverage cellular wireless networks (2G, 3G) and wireless protocols
Bluetooth RFID Approach other technologies with caution
(do we really need other standards/technologies to move forward with vehicular commerce?)
