ng Connect Program Intros LTE Networked Car of the Future
The ng Connect Program has revealed their plans for creating a digitally connected automobile experience for the future. The collaboration takes everything we've come to expect in a smartphone and enables it within an everyday vehicle, and in this case a Toyota Prius. Using LTE (4G) networks, movies and music will be streamed from the home computer via the cloud. Users, now drivers, will be able to find nearby locations, locate friends, and receive updates on weather, construction, and reroutes. Lately we've noticed quite a few developments in automobile connectivity, including a Taiwanese taxi equipped with WiMax. See the full version of ng Connect's video explanation here.
