What is The Digital Car Journal?
The Digital Car Journal is a weblog about the use of computers in cars, especially relating to telematics and conversational interfaces.
What is a weblog?
A weblog is a journal or diary of someone's interaction with the Web. Although personal in nature--it is, after all, some person's interaction--it can also be topical, as, of course, the Digital Car Journal is. For a succinct history, see Rebecca Blood's Weblogs: A History and Perspective.

What is telematics?
Telematics, very broadly defined, is the use of the wireless internet in vehicles. Telematics applications include navigational aids, safety and emergency services, information and entertainment services and tracking/logistics. Google search: What is telematics?
