This is a page from PC Magazine from March, 1998 this talked about the AutoPC that was a variant of WindowsCE and a pre-cursor to PocketPC which went on to be the iPaq devices. Unfortunately, Apple got the timing right and catapulted the mobile devices to fame.
Yes, smartphones seemed like science fiction then Still there are now Google Autopiloted cars
I would not trust the Google software that could either stall due to lag or crash (software and thereby physically crash the car on the road)... but then who knows it might come standard in the future.
