Chrysler announced Thursday that next years vehicle line will include an optional service known as 'uconnect' that will turn a subscribers vehicle into a rolling hot spot. The system includes a $449 dealer installed wireless router which will connect users to the Internet via the cellular networks. Service will cost $29 per month with a one time activation fee of $35. Besides accessing the Internet, the system will also link with cellular phones and iPods and has an in-car 30-gigabyte hard drive and "navigation and real-time traffic features, controlled by voice recognition or a touch screen." according to CNN. The move is an attempt to compete with Ford's "Sync" system and other 3rd party options. Hopefully we won't have to worry about people facebooking while driving!
