An article from CNN dated July 15, 2002:
“The telematics industry is growing at just two to three percent a
year, according to a study by Cap Gemini Ernst and Young, but the
potential is much greater. In 2001, Americans bought 1.85 million
vehicles equipped with some sort of telematics, according to a report
released in April by the Telematics Research Group. That number is
expected to grow to 2.6 million next year and 7.6 million by 2007.
Besides wireless downloads, Bluetooth will allow the car's components
to "speak" to the driver.

According to Forward Concepts: “the North American Telematics market,
consisting of OEM equipment sales, subscription fees, and airtime
minutes will grow from $500 Million in 2002 to over $3 Billion by
2006. Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is another growing automotive
electronics market that, along with traditional dashboard
entertainment equipment will ultimately merge with Telematics, as
well.”

In the summary of The Current Market for Telematics:
“consumers when asked what monthly figure most would pay for a
telematics service, most people (approximately 40%) mentioned a little
under $10 ($8 to be precise or about $100 per year) for the most basic
level of service (safety and security related).”
Eye For Auto Website

“Several market studies show that many car drivers will pay $10 to $20
per month for a bundle of applications including roadside assistance,
automatic airbag deployment notification, traffic information, and
route guidance.”

GM Will Offer Advanced Automatic Crash Notification In 2003
“When a vehicle crash occurs, a quick medical response often can mean
the difference between life and death. In an effort to help 911
centers dispatch the appropriate life-saving staff and equipment to
crash scenes faster, General Motors will begin adding an advanced
automatic crash notification (AACN) system to vehicles equipped with
OnStar, the first automaker to do so.”
