Modern car computer expected to combine entertainment with telematics (the term commonly used to refer to automotive communications and navigation systems), so it control radio and music playback, guide to new destinations via GPS, handle phone calls, and let know if there are problems with the engine, or if the tyres need a little more air. Popular use of computer technology in cars is monitoring - providing feedback on economy, the state of the engine, problems that need attention at the next service, and even things like tyre pressure warnings. Communications are also important: a link to your mobile phone should be integrated into the system, complete with contact synchronisation, so once a number's stored in the phone, someone's name appear on the in-dash screen, and the music can be muted when a call comes in. Some systems provide access to emails and text to speech, so that they can be read out, helping us keep eyes on the road - the in-car PCs used by car manufacturers Citroen and Peugeot can do this today with systems from Italian firm Magneti Marelli.
