Imagine the possibilities of an on-line community of more than 100 million Telematics-enabled vehicles and travelers on the roadway at the same time, all connected to the Internet in a "rolling social network" driven by state-of-the-art  communications.

Based on new variations of Wi-Fi (802.11g, p & s), this network will create new and unprecedented opportunities for Location Based Services such as safety, service delivery, advertising,  research and communications. 

Such a network will re-define the role of traditional social networks as we add machine-to-machine connections (MESH), Artifical Intelligence (Neural Networks) and now the DOT proposed Vehicle to Infrastructure Interface (VII) as the "always" on Wi-Fi backhaul service provider. 

Smart-Traveler's RoadRider Telematics Concierge is your personal web-based "Portal"  to these emerging concepts featuring “roadway” assistance service offerings, which provides the next generation in traveler assistance beyond today’s traditional roadside services. RoadRider integrates the solutions of upscale independent automotive service centers, motor clubs, information and intertainmet content providers, and wireless communications operators.  RoadRider utilizes location-based delivery systems and the digital dispatch-based instant message service provider capability. This concept will extend from the travelers home desktop to a vehicle-based web portal, to enabled cellphones and back.

RoadRider's integrated solutions offering will enable provisioning a suite of new InfoTainment services to travelers anywhere --- even on the roadway moving at expressway speeds. This defines and changes the whole paradigm and ushers in a new ‘virtual traveler service center’ that has the capability to be in “constant contact” and one that leverages a “connected vehicle” and a connected community of vehicles, service centers and drivers anytime … anywhere.
