Making a Connection to Your Car

Making a Connection to Your Car
For many people, their car is something more than a mechanism to get them
from Point A to Point B. Some folks spend a considerable amount of time
each day commuting — we know people who spend 1.5 hours in the car each
way in a commute. For others, like those with RVs, their vehicle represents
almost an entire vacation home.
If you think about the things you do in your car — listen to some music, talk
on the phone, let your kids watch a movie — they’re not all that different
from things that you do around the house. Because your home’s wireless connection
can reach outside your walls and into your driveway or garage, your
car can go online with your home network and access data ranging from your
address book on your PC to your latest MP3s in your stereo. You can download
these to your car, thus simplifying your life and making the car truly a
second home. (No more calls home, “Honey, can you look on my computer
for the number for . . .?”)
