Revolutionary devices that will bring Internet access to driver's seat

Sun, Jan 10

London, Jan 10 (ANI): A new generation of computerised dashboard devices that will bring Internet access to the driver's seat are about to be unveiled.

The Wi-Fi-enabled gadgets, which are being developed by technology companies such as Intel and Google in conjunction with car manufacturers, will allow drivers to compose voice-activated e-mails on the move, call up restaurant reviews as they reach their destination and use 3D maps to navigate while their passengers watch movies.

The devices will go on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. However, motoring organisations have warned the so-called "infotainment" systems will distract drivers and increase the risk of accidents.
