Ford Plans Wi-Fi On Board (PC World)

PC World – Ford, one of the failing auto industry’s big dogs, announced it will nerd-out and bring Wi-Fi to a line of its vehicles. Starting in 2010, SYNC-equipped Ford cars and trucks will use not only currently available communications technologies (such as hands-free calling, audible text messages, and real-time traffic), they will also be “rolling Wi-Fi hotspots.” This is perfect for when your school-age offspring needs to hop on the Internet for last-minute research, or — more likely — for businesspeople hacking out e-mails without paying much attention to the road.
