Well, I'm not sure why you would need it, but it would sure be cool to have one! DaimlerChrysler has introduced a "Super8 Hemi" concept sedan which utilizes Linux & Java in the car's "infotronic" system. This system will help to "satisfy the never-ending thirst of tomorrow's automobile drivers and passengers for Internet-based data and information. The goal of the Infotronic system is to provide Infotainment, 'edutainment,' and entertainment services that meet the lifestyle of each individual driver or passenger." That's cool and all, but where is my flying car? Hmmm, maybe that's what Dean Kamen's IT invention is.
