Seems to me this is a little late in the game since you can already do everything you need from your smartphone anyway. |

I guess you all do not own a car made in this century. You will not be able to access it while in motion for liability reasons with your hands for obvious reasons. It will be voice controlled while driving and a tablet while you are not in motion. It will probably be made so that you can send and recieve texts and phone calls with voice activation and of course you will also be able to get internet radio and live traffic updates with your navigation.

I'd be surprised if you could surf the web while underway...

If GM wants to sell cars they will have to keep up with what people want. Those under 30 take all of the tech stuff as normal every day items. It can be unsafe. Then a 185 top end and 0-60 under 4 seconds can be dangerous as well.

Its not the century Bro - its plain dumb! Why do u need an internet connection, texting etc. Ur supposed to be driving a sweet machine and enjoying it. What else do you do behind the wheel besides keeping hands at ten & two, constantly scanning the horizon and mirrors, and keeping a safe following distance (trademarks of a safe driver)? Eating a cheeseburger, texting and blasting Lady Gaga are all trademarks of everyone else. Are you looking for technology to assist you, or are you putting it on yourself to modify your habits? I ask you multitasking or safety? While safety may be first in everyone’s minds, it’s typically last on everyone’s to-do list, which is why distractions get people in trouble. |
Being in cyber security, this is one of the things that scares me the most; completely internet reachable cars.
Since our cars are all electronic now, including the gas and break peddle and now steering wheel, its only a mater of time until we get viruses in our cars. And a short time after that until someone hacks the car and can control it from a laptop. |

You really didn't say "break peddle" & advise you're in the Cyber Security business both in the same posting did ya . . . . . :eek: |

I don't see the efficacy of have two internet connections, and service plans, and cost, in one car, one for my phone, and one for the car. I just need my smart phone screen to show up on the dash.

I want a Sport-a-potty seat for those long cruises. With a carbon fiber t.p. roll.

Now, there are probably going to be options from Apple for iPad like devices to replace the factory radio/navigation systems. |

Sorry man, there are already ways to break into the remote access like OnStar. Similarly, Bluetooth is hack-able from fifty-plus feet away.

I think it's all part of the NSA's grand plan to accumulate more data...

What I see coming down the road with all this technology is they will control your speed limit. A $99 dollar garmin can display the speed limit of the road you're on so how hard would it be to sync that with the car. And it will all be in the name of safety.
It will also work out well to tax you for the miles you drive. |

What people don't seem to understand is like it or not this is the future. We are living in a connected world and we will get even more connected. 4G LTE will be integrated into most of our electronics within the next 5 to 10 years. Cars is just the beginning. Once they get to the point of unlimited 4GLTE it could very well replace home internet.
Putting LTE in a car is awesome ideal and I can wait to see what possibles they are going to come up with. Think about all the things you can do a smart phone or tablet today that was impossible less than 10 years ago! I can see them creating a pandora, mapping, and other apps that would work independently of a phone. I see alot of people on here saying I don't need this I have phone. A lot of people said I don't need a tablet because I have a smartphone and it can do everything a tablet can do. People also said I don't need a smartphone because I have a computer and it can do everything a smartphone can do. |
