Motorola has been showing off their new system for cars which lets you use your cellphone to remotely control functions on the car, including (and especially) the heating and air conditioning. You can also keep tabs on stuff like how much fuel you have left, whether your car doors are locked, etc. It's just a prototype for right now, but since we're pretty sure it's your God-given right not to ever have to be inconvenienced by a freezing cold car on the start of those chilly morning commutes, Motorola better get their asses in gear and get this out soon before the first big deep freeze hits this winter.
I think your battery is low.
Oh this will be great. If I'm going to be able to control the heater and A/C remotely then I'm guessing I will also be able to start/stop the engine. I can just imagine some silly hacker shutting off my car engine as I'm racing (legally racing that is) down the interstate highway. Or how about opening all my windows during the next rain storm. Isn't technology wonderful!
Cool, I hope to drive from the backseat of my car ; )
since in alaska everyone and their mom has an autostart... this is kinda cool. i'm sure i'm not the only one who wouldn't mind loosing the fob and integrating the functions of said fob into my phone. but of course... thats all dependant on whether or not this could/would integrate into current existing autostart systems.
i am guessing it doesn't.
