Have a read of John Quain's blog post on Intel's R&D efforts around black boxes for cars in the NY Times Automobiles/Wheels section. As Intel CTO Justin Rattner is quoted: "With new vehicles, there will very likely be video cameras inside and outside... when you combine the cameras with GPS, you're geo-tagging the video." Adding wireless Internet broadband like WiMAX and smarter, PC-like systems inside cars could bring several interesting opportunities ranging from crashes and an immediate phone call/video to emergency outlets; accident and insurance recording; improved safety studying and more. - View Press Release - Visit Intel Corporation
