The problems of off interaction between different types of vehicles and off-board services, applications and devices is explored. An alternative architecture that supports the development of non-vehicle-specific applications and services is presented and the specifications defining the architecture are described.

The Automotive Multimedia Interface Collaboration has been developing a unified architecture with supporting networking and software API specifications. The objective of this effort is to simplify the task of developing hardware and software for multiple automotive platforms and makers. This paper will describe the AMIC organization, and provide a summary of the progress to date. The overall architecture requirements will be briefly described and the expected impact of these requirements on applications and products will be analyzed.

The basic goals of privacy and authenticity of personal data are summarized, and examples of potential threats to privacy in telematics applications are provided. Probable telematic transactions for the automotive environment are analyzed for typical versus necessary personal content. The question of privacy versus confidentiality versus security versus authenticity is discussed in the context of system design and service provider responsibilities. Several examples of how current telematic systems address privacy are provided, and worldwide trends in architectures followed the "designed in privacy" concept are briefly described.
