Web access from your car?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Dunwoody-based Hughes Telematics is taking a big step towards putting us all behind the wheel of high-powered computers with cars strapped onto their backs.
The company announced earlier this month (click for full story) it has signed on with the Chrysler Group to put connected car technology in its vehicles.
The Hughes platform is the most comprehensive of several recent automotive technology announcements. it will include safety and security features familiar to owners of OnStar-equipped GM vehicles.
But it will also provide some gee-whiz capabilities, such as the potential for wireless broadband Internet access, in-car wireless networks and the ability for cars to sync up to home networks to transfer music, movies and files via a PC interface.
What kinds of features do you think they should offer drivers? What would you be willing to pay for?
