OMG, I hope that this ridiculous car does not show the way the industry is going. I vow to _never_ drive a car that is steered or otherwise controlled "by wire" in the sense of having a Wintel computer system in between me and the steering mechanism.
WiMax cant be the solution to the half-assed broadband in this country. Its simply too slow (72Mb/s per node IIRC), when compared with most cable-based broadband speeds between 1.5 and 5Mbit/s. You'd need something a lot faster, or possibly lots of frequencies to get it to replace broadband over coax or fiber.

i'm all for "by wire"...electrical transmission/control is a lot more reliable than a mechanical one
and i wouldn't want wintel in my (future) car either

Nice, but the whole reason for internal windows is so you can have less drag. Not sure why you need a overkill x86 processor for that.Of course, why would I want a piece of junk Chrysler anyhow?
