Wireless Internet inbuilt in your new Car
If General Motors has their way, in-car boredom might be a thing of the past very soon.GM is planning an extensive roll out of wireless internet technology in their vehicles, one that will see most 2015 Chevrolet equipped with built-in AT&T 4G LTE. GM is calling it OnStar 4G LTE.
What does Wireless Internet mean for drivers or passengers of the car?
It means their next Corvette, Impala or Silver ado will have a wireless internet hotspot for their smartphone, tablet, laptop or Apple Newton.GM says this technology will be on nearly every Chevrolet car, and each vehicle can connect multiple devices.
Yes, plenty of car companies have been doing this a while, particularly on higher end models. But GM says Chevrolet will have the broadest implementation of 4G wireless of any car brand, and it will be across multiple price levels.
The Internet connection will allow for more than just fast Jalopnik browsing on the go. GM says the built-in 4G LTE connection will allow them to update their vehicles with the latest software and apps remotely, so they can continually tweak and improve their infotainment systems. The new technology coincides with the 10th generation of OnStar, which was first released in 1996.
Pricing hasn't been announced, but GM says if you're a current AT&T customer you can add this to your existing data plan.
