I suppose I was in the mood to argue, and I was reading your comments out of context. The original post was actually modded out of the picture, and I didn't pay attention to the title. Guess that will teach me! Oh well, hope the links were informative...
"watching TV?", I don't see a TV in his setup. I do see an LCD in the headrest so ppl in the rear sear can watch DVDs, etc. Perhaps you should perform a bit of research before you simply complain? If you are really interested in how technology and Telematics are affecting drivers, then _think_, and perform a little research (Watch Discovery || TLC).
Telematics is the future for vehicles. Ford, GM, Toyota, Fiat, etc are investing quite a bit on the research and development of telematics to improve driver awareness, and information, and balancing the distractions caused by other consumer devices people typically carry (Phone, PDA, etc.). For example, wonder over to AMI-C. Are all of the major automotive manufacturers, ISO, and NIST "Idiots" as well? What about Toyota Prius and Infiniti G35 owners (and too many others to list here)?
I think it would be interesting to see a SCO vs. GPL fact sheet/page that covers some of the hypocrisy of SCO's claims.
Could someone who has access, or is using, or is currently phasing out some of SCO's products grep for the GPL and record how many instances are encountered?
Then, it would be further interesting to see how many instances the GPL is not included with software packages that are licensed under the GPL.
Shhhh,
They are already doing it. Standards ARE being made. And it is not just some mom-and-pop company either. Rather, it is a lot of well known companies and automotive manufacturers. I'll give ya a hint. The messaging between devices will be ASN.1 encoded. More to come. Perhaps....
Aw now, there's nothing like your average 120 MPH DMCA violation...
You are going to see this a lot more in the near future. Only, it perhaps may be based on standards.
Like using a 3G phone for the connectivity... Or Bluetoorh for device connectivity... Or a 1394b interface built directly into your car from the factory. Give it a few years;)

You can find the actual specifications involved here: http://www.ami-c.org/
Wow, this one actually took over a month! There for a while there was a kernel being spit out about once a month.
Heh,
;)
My bad
