 Vehicle bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main driving forces for the development of vehicle network technology have been the advances made in the electronics industry in general and government regulations imposed, especially in the United States, in order to make the automobiles environmentally friendly.
Networks were not new, but their application to the vehicle was.
Although the vehicle network did not place too much emphasis on the data throughput, the demand for more on-board computing is continuing to drive changes to these networks to provide higher-speed communication between modules.

 A Guide to Electronic Communication & Network Etiquette
Electronic communication (e-mail, bulletin boards and newsgroups) comprises a relatively new form of communication and differs from other methods of communication common to the workplace.
By comparison, electronic communication allows discourse with a large number of correspondents, over a wide geographical area, with no more effort or cost than is required to send a single message locally.
Again, because electronic communication has the informal properties of conversation without the corresponding benefits of voice inflection and body language, messages are often misconstrued and generate unexpected angry responses called " flames." The ability to respond immediately to a message often leads to a hasty response.

 EFF:
The Electronic Communications Privacy Act was designed to ensure that all providers of electronic communications were subject to the protections and requirements of the federal Wiretap Act.
The Electronic Communications Privacy Act has two essential purposes: to ensure that the privacy rights of individuals using new forms of electronic communications are protected, and to protect the providers of all electronic communications systems.
A big difference between electronic communications and tangible letters, however, is that electronic messages traveling through communications networks are broken down into individual "packets," which are transmitted to the destination computer and then reassembled into the original message.

Hence there are a range of activities which, although they undoubtedly involve the misuse of an electronic communications network or service and cause — at the very least — inconvenience to the public, are not covered by the statement.
