Car app

Car apps are a genre of software that offer a car and its driver abilities above what is built-in to the vehicle. Examples of Third-party software for cars include allowing data input while moving, traffic jam assistance, diagnostics and lane-keeping.

These pieces of software can be standalone or linked to the cars computers via the "OBD" (On-board diagnostics) port that is present in almost all cars made since the mid-1990s.
