Ultimate Automotive Computer Installation

ErnstKompressor writes "I came across a story detailing an awesome car mod out of the Czech Republic. The author undertook what must be the most impressive exercise in computer integration I have ever seen, installing an extensive Mac system with custom Cocoa software controlling nearly every aspect of a 1993 Tatra 613. On-board systems monitoring, navigation, entertainment, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, plus much more, are all rolled into a tight, extensible, package. Check it out."

    The one thing I was wondering from the article, was, he said he did this to save money on manufactured items (mp3 head unit, navigation, etc.). Unless Apple computers are MUCH cheaper over there than here...its hard for me to imagine that he saved money by doing this. I mean, I think its cool, and very interesting. But, hard to believe it was a money saver...
