Mullica Hill, NJ | Re: Good possibility for BACK SEAT entertainment systems one could also throw in a Wifi chipset and on board storage if they have such things in future plans allowing one to pull data from their home LAN while its in the driveway.
I will be honest, this is where Google should try and get more Android licenses. with more and more cars having what are effectively computers built in with 3g and soon 4g connectivity its only time before there is desire for apps. And with cell data connectivity the GPS maps would only have to be as out of date as Google Maps itself is.
and then to add to the droid Idea. have a Convoy App. any cars with the droidNav system could join a private password protected group(basically like forming your own channel on IRC if you will) with other cars if you are traveling as a group and you would be able to keep track of your convoy on the GPS.
and for the back seats a Wikipedia app that could look at the car's location and bring up interesting data if you wanted to.. Could also bring up whole new ideas for self guided tourism.. A "National Parks App" that follows your GPS location in the park and plays interesting audio facts through the stereo system.
Just think if a car company could advertise the back seats having the equal of droid tablets for at least two of the passengers.

said by Mr Matt:Just issue a ticket to the owner if the vehicle runs a red light no matter who was driving. You still have the right to contest the citation in a court of law...just like if you had been cited by a living, breathing, enforcement official. | |

| Re: Don't forget the automatic speeding reports to police. You don't live in an area where there are red-light cameras, I'd assume.
Here in CA, you have to 'pay to play' to go to court. I.E. If you're going to contest your ticket, you have to pay up first, then fight for the right to go to court to pay get it back. Its 1984. | |

kudos:2 | Re: Don't forget the automatic speeding reports to police. Enjoy CA. Everywhere that I've lived, a person is cited and a court date is established. The person has a choice to remit payment for the fine prior to the court date or appear in court to defend themselves. There's always a "court fee" regardless of the action taken.
Note to self...don't move to California. | |

| | | Take the ticket to court and argue it wasn't you driving. | |

OnStar doesn't charge for roaming. I have driven all through Canada with my OnStar system just fine. Though current OnStar systems use In-Band modem signaling instead of PS data. Not sure if they are going to charge anything extra for LTE or if it will be a plan based thing. | |

| | System can be hacked As with build Navigation system, there is a way to change this and people will find a way. | |
|
| | | Re: System can be hacked I pulled the FUSE on my on-star last month. After my subscription ended, I got random calls for me to renew.
so, it goes to show, even though your subscription ends, the system is STILL active and tracking you.... | |

Nah, their system flagged your account and they called. Nothing else,nothing more. Yep pretty much like any other subscription service, they want the business back. Even MMORPGs I have long quit I sometimes get an email here and there asking me to start back.

Don't forget the automatic speeding reports to police.
Here in Central Florida the police do not have to prove who was driving a vehicle when a violation occurs. Just issue a ticket to the owner if the vehicle runs a red light no matter who was driving. If a mechanic was trying to determine if the flegal is twisted when the violation occurred why not screw the vehicle owner.
