In an automobile, communications to and from the automobile are in the form of messages. Such messages are referred to as "electronic car-mail" or "C-mail" messages as each message has a destination or origination address which includes an identifier, e.g., a vehicle identification number (VIN), identifying the automobile. The messages may be delivered to the automobile from a remote server through a communications network, e.g., the Internet. One such message may contain a recall notice to the automobile. Another message may contain just-in-time map information for navigation, depending on the current location of the automobile. Yet another message may contain advertising information concerning selected entities, e.g., restaurants, gas stations, department stores, etc., also depending on the current location of the automobile. The messages transmitted from the automobile to the remote server may contain, e.g., GPS information identifying the location of the automobile, dynamic data furnished by sensors in the automobile for analysis, an odometer reading and a speedometer reading for records, etc.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for use in a system for collecting data from vehicles, comprising: receiving at least one data message from a vehicle over a communications network, the at least one data message from the vehicle being formatted to include at least a measure generated by a device in the vehicle, information for identifying the vehicle, and mileage of the vehicle; determining, from the information, a type of the vehicle; and providing at least selected data concerning the measure, and the mileage of the vehicle associated therewith for an analysis concerning the type of the vehicle. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of a battery in the vehicle. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of a tire of the vehicle. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of a brake of the vehicle. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of an air-bag in the vehicle. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of a restraint device in the vehicle. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of an engine of the vehicle. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the device includes a sensor. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the type of the vehicle includes at least a vehicle model. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the type of the vehicle includes at least a vehicle year. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the type of the vehicle includes at least a vehicle manufacturer. 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the information includes at least part of a vehicle identification number (VIN). 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the selected data is provided to an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). 14. The method of claim 13 wherein the analysis relates to a warranty of a vehicle component for the type of the vehicle. 15. The method of claim 1 wherein the mileage is provided by an odometer of the vehicle. 16. The method of claim 1 wherein the communications network includes at least part of the Internet. 17. A system for collecting data from vehicles, comprising: an interface for receiving at least one data message from a vehicle over a communications network, the at least one data message from the vehicle being formatted to include at least a measure generated by a device in the vehicle, information for identifying the vehicle, and mileage of the vehicle; a processing element configured for determining, from the information, a type of the vehicle; and a mechanism for providing at least selected data concerning the measure, and the mileage of the vehicle associated therewith for an analysis concerning the type of the vehicle. 18. The system of claim 17 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of a battery in the vehicle. 19. The system of claim 17 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of a tire of the vehicle. 20. The system of claim 17 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of a brake of the vehicle. 21. The system of claim 17 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of an air-bag in the vehicle. 22. The system of claim 17 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of a restraint device in the vehicle. 23. The system of claim 17 wherein the measure is indicative of a condition of an engine of the vehicle. 24. The system of claim 17 wherein the device includes a sensor. 25. The system of claim 17 wherein the type of the vehicle includes at least a vehicle model. 26. The system of claim 17 wherein the type of the vehicle includes at least a vehicle year. 27. The system of claim 17 wherein the type of the vehicle includes at least a vehicle manufacturer. 28. The system of claim 17 wherein the information includes at least part of a VIN. 29. The system of claim 17 wherein the selected data is provided to an OEM. 30. The system of claim 29 wherein the analysis relates to a warranty of a vehicle component for the type of the vehicle. 31. The system of claim 17 wherein the mileage is provided by an odometer of the vehicle. 32. The system of claim 17 wherein the communications network includes at least part of the Internet.
