Venturies and Orifice plates are widely used in industries to measure the flow rate of gases and liquids. The working principle is simple and flow is measured using the differential pressure principle.
Even for a wind to blow, there has to be a low pressure and a high pressure. Hence if there is a flow (created naturally or artificially), there is a high pressure upstream and low pressure down stream.
Differential pressure transmitters (DPT's) utilize this principle to measure this pressure difference and transmit the pressure difference signal to a process indicator or controller. This signal is processed by the indicator (meter) and scaled or integrated to engineering parameters like flow rate, totalisation, speed, volume etc., using specific formulas for the particular type of application and medium (gas or fluid).
To summarize, venturies and orifices generate a differential pressure which if integrated with time, can then be used to convert into any engineering parameter like flow rate, quantity, speed etc. and can be used in any industrial, automotive, aeronautical, domestic or just about any field - which comes to imagination.

Correct as above, Ventury meters measure the speed of a fluid (air or other FLUIDS).
In aviation, the PITOT TUBE is a ventury meter that allows to measure the speed of the air around the airplane (its "Air speed").
They are made of a tube where the diameter changes, and apply the Boyle-Mariot principle that the ration of pressure over velocity is a constant.

Venturi meters are used to measure the speed of a fluid's flow through a pipe. I don't know about in cars, but I think an important industrial application would be to monitor the flow rates of chemicals through the pipes of a chemical plant.
I suppose in automobiles it could be used to measure the flow rates of fluids like oil and gasoline.

This venturi system may be used like a speedometer. Planes use these to determine thier speed so cars may do the same.
