== History == Telematics is a translation of the [[French language|French]] word ''télématique,'' which was first [[Protologism|coined]] by [[Simon Nora]] and [[Alain Minc]] in a 1978 report to the French government on the [[Informatization|computerization]] of society. It referred to the transfer of information over telecommunications and was a [[portmanteau]] blending the French words ''télécommunications'' ("[[telecommunications]]") and ''informatique'' ("[[computing science]]"). The original broad meaning of telematics continues to be used in academic fields, but in commerce it now generally means [[vehicle telematics]].<ref>{{Cite web|title = What is telematics?
