Abstract: A system for processing data from motor vehicles includes a server with a databank and a master computer and a first transceiver. A plurality of motor vehicles include second transceivers and display devices. The server communicates with the motor vehicles using the first transceiver which is connected bi-directionally via a wireless connection with the second transceivers. The second transceivers of the motor vehicles transmit vehicle-specific data, parameters, and information to the first transceiver of the server which receives the data. The first transceiver of the server transmits processed data and information from the server to the second transceivers of the motor vehicles that receive this data. The vehicle-specific data can be transmitted and received in real time and displayed on the display devices in the motor vehicles in a comparative manner. The system may also be used in a method for evaluating driving.
