With technological innovations the resulting economies of scale have thrusted price declines. Further product bundling, and aggressive cost-cutting strategies at all levels of production and distribution are expected to influence prices downward.

With this in progress, the vehicle section found in both the actual shipment market and aftermarket are expected to quickly adopt the GPS. As a matter of fact, navigation and information delivery systems could become most required vehicle components.
