At the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES)was demonstrated the “future of in-vehicle entertainment”.
It was shown what could be possible by dropping a high-speed Internet connection into a car:
-
Vehicle Monitoring – Parked in a bad neighborhood? Monitor what’s going on with your ride from your smartphone or PC.
-
Impact Detection – You’re in the club and someone just hit your car in the parking lot. You know this because your car sent you a video of the offender.
-
Voice Portal – Call up YouTube, Twitter, Wikipedia, and music via Verizon VCAST on your in-vehicle display. Watch the road, though.
-
Home monitoring and control – Forgot to turn off the AC? No need to turn around, do it from your car. Check the security cameras when away as well.
-
Video chat – Oh, you thought you were doing it big using your car as a bluetooth headset?
-
Watch live video from street webcams to avoid traffic jam.
