Chrysler to offer Wi-Fi access in 2009 vehicles
Yeah, we know this isn't home audio or video related but we think it's just plain cool. Pretty soon we'll be able to tool down I-44 doing 70 while playing World of Warfare on our laptop (calm down, we're just kidding!). According to Yahoo:
Chrysler is adding a new in-dash system called UConnect to all its vehicles in order to bring Bluetooth connectivity, iPod integration, satellite TV, and a mobile hotspot to consumers looking for more entertainment options. The Internet connection will be possible through a 3G cellular connection that allows download speeds of up 800 kilobits per second, and upload speeds of 200 kbps.
Passengers will be able to connect laptops, handheld devices, and even Web-connected gaming consoles, like the Nintendo Wii, provided they have an LCD monitor in place.
As cool as this is we're a tad worried about those idiots who shave and put on make-up while they drive (not at the same time hopefully). Just imagine adding a laptop into the mix. Are you scared yet?
