 Surf the Web From Your Radio? |
Chrysler wants to be the first car company to provide in-car internet access and an option. From The Washington Post:
The feature will be added to existing vehicles by dealers beginning this year and later be installed on the assembly line, said Frank Klegon, Chrysler's product development chief.
The technology will allow passengers to search Web pages using signals from mobile phone towers. Consumers initially would need a subscription to a wireless phone carrier to ensure uninterrupted coverage.
"We want to make the radio itself a WiFi port," Klegon said.
It seems to me that they'd have to apply the same safety features on internet access from the front seat as they currently have with DVD access - the car must be in park in order for it to operate, less we have a new generation of sandwich-eating-telephone-talking-web-surfing drivers on the road. Oh wait - maybe we already have that...

 Re: Surf the Web From Your Radio?I guess I should have said good NEW vehicles. I have owned three XJ's and all were better vehicles than my NEW Commander which seems to be in the shop now every other week.

Re: Surf the Web From Your Radio? Instead of putting Internet in cars why doesn't Chrysler start making good vehicles that get good gas mileage?
