Call the Car
A few days ago, the idea of having a "driver portal" in a car's computer occurred to me. Have you ever seen a mechanic access a car's computer? I have, he used a small, handheld device, that he plugged in to see exactly what was going on w. my mother's Pontiac. It turned out we needed to change the factory-installed battery.
I'd like to have a way of accessing my car say, from my cell phone, the Web or my home phone, to see if I need any servicing, to remember where I parked, to get a gas gauge readout, a miles driven reading or to just see if I need air in my tires.
