Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle information management system for use in a motor vehicle. The system incorporates a radio system which has a display system, and a remotely located processor-based inference engine. The inference engine automatically, wirelessly receives information inputs from the radio system in real time pertaining to at least one of a real time location of the vehicle and at least one of a destination of travel of the vehicle or a status of operation of the vehicle. The inference engine may analyzes the information inputs and determines new information, in real time, that is useful to the vehicle operator, and automatically transmits the new information wirelessly to the radio system for use by the user. The display system automatically displays the new information to the vehicle operator.
