WiFi On the Road?
So you can no longer drive and talk on your cell phone, but with Ford’s new “Sync” technology you may be able to have a rolling Wi-Fi connection. By using 3G technology you simply sync your phone, laptop or other Wi-Fi enabled device to your vehicle and voila! You can update your Twitter status from the Timmies drive through. Here’s what Mashable had to say: http://www.nextmedia-source.com/frame.php?id=5209718
Is this a good thing? I’m not sure. It poses a distinct risk to others on the road, and I suspect there would be a hefty fine for anyone caught surfing Facebook while cruising the freeway. Having said that, mobile Wi-Fi would be hugely convenient for people who are on the go, or have to wait in the occasional ferry lineup.
