Internet in vehicles idea.
Hello folks, i am not stealing anybody's idea.Clarkson touched on this, what about having webcams & internet in your car ( retro fitted or factory ).Can use the cameras for security too.Or is that too many cameras ?.Could have slide out keyboards, in the dash, usb ports for your own or wireless keyboards.The mouse needs to go somewhere aswell.

I think we can get wifi in cars now ( Chrysler did it since 09 ).So i can't see why the internet screen can't be in the dash in Full HD or using the latest unsold tech 
.All internet wifi related computers should work now ( IPAD2, PSP etc ).Plus we've had factory fitted tv's since the BMW 7 series ( 94-95 ), so why shouldn't they be digital now.

Ive got a computer in my car, built a small acer computer into the glove box with a 7" touchscreen in the double din slot.
Main reason was the ecu i have has a dash output function in the software so the screen could be setup to show all the gauges rather than cluttering up the dash.
With this i also got satnav (garmin does a pc based thing with a usb gps dongle), and all of my music on the hard drive.
If the pc is powerful enough then webcams, radio, internet is all easily do-able.... as easy as anything is on a pc i mean.

internet will be a doddle of you already have a carputer, just acuire a 3G dongle from a mobile provider of your choice but then you are the mercy of the providers coverage of the areas you drive through. Don't need to be powerful, hell the busses in Cambridge have Wi-FI on them LOL 
IPAD2 come in 3G format so that to would solve the mobile internet, media center options for the car.....
