The networked car
Imagine...no brake or gas panel and sleeping in the car...alone. True, we've seen this as a futuristic hollywood-esque cars blazing along with such movies as Demolition Man or Minority Report. But, isn't that how most inventions are manufactured...from the ideas of others. The more you say it, the more others listen and make it.
“To put it very simply, you are turning the car into a computer,” says Rainer Kallenbach, general manager of the group that modified the prototype for Bosch, a major auto industry supplier based in Stuttgart. The car into a computer? The computer will eventually be a TV? All hybrids coming together in one unified system. And, since we're seeing more and more mergers, it's only time to see the "giant" one of networking filling in these gaps and making the new type of wireless universal connectivity. It's not a matter of if...it's a matter of when.
