How is communication conducted inside a car via a speech system and how does this vary by language or cultural community? This is the question raised in this book. Chapters present a robust theory and methodology for studying communication in cars, how tasks are begun and ended, how people switch between tasks, how non-task talk appears, what ways and styles of communication drivers prefer, and how they expect a voice-system to respond.

This text introduces readers to the ethnographic study of intercultural and social interactions through the analysis of conversations in which different cultural orientations are operating.
