The Future of Automotive has started.

One of the most exciting things happening to the car is it is starting to adapt to our lives better than it will have ever before.

I believe that if the car is to survive, it will have to be more than just a car.

The changes that are occurring are akin to the smartphone became to the phone. Who would have ever thought in the year 2000 an iPhone would be possible?

Cars are going to effectively become a smartphone for us and they will connect via what is known as Web 3.0 or The Semantic web, which I will blog about at a later time.

Imagine the apps? Whilst the software should never be connected to any of the drive and control systems, the car could have its own entertainment and communications system that you could download useful applications for via wireless mesh/mobile communications. Go to the dealership for a software update or will the manufacturer push it out to be installed at next start?

Below are some examples and from what I can find, systems that are in cars today.
