Get the web in your car
With customers getting used to accessing the internet wherever they are, one car manufacturer has decided to include web capacity in its vehicles.Chrysler is to include a wireless internet option on most of its new model vehicles next year, reports Vnunet.com.
The car maker will equip the vehicle mobile broadband technology which transmits the internet over mobile phone networks so that it has constant access to the web.
It will also be a Wi-Fi hub, allowing passengers to log on to the net.
While this is an early announcement from a car manufacturer in this regards, the proliferation of USB modems – dongles – could render it obsolete before it even starts.
Dongles plug into laptops and allow users to connect to the internet, paying their mobile phone provider a subscription fee.
A laptop with this device could then be used in the car, and in the garage, the home or the park.
