In-car Internet connectivity isn’t a particularly new technology. For that past few years this technology has been available, but in most applications it provides a mobile hot spot and little else.

“The Internet has been tuned to zero miles per hour,” said Prasad in a CNET interview.
Ford’s Senior technology leader K. Venkatesh Prasad recently said that the automaker is working to offer a greater breadth of services for the car, while also enabling the driver and passengers to interact with such systems safely.
