Ford Asks Developers To Create Apps That Promote Fuel Efficiency
blog.programmableweb.com
on 04/30/2013
Excerpt: The need to reduce your carbon footprint is more important that ever before. One of the key areas targeted to help reduce that is to not just ask car drivers to create fuel-efficient cars but also instill a driving discipline that can help drivers save fuel. Ford Motor Company aims to do just that via its Personalized Fuel-Efficiency App Challenge, a contest that invites developers to create mobile applications to help customers optimize their “personal” fuel-economy performance. Developers need to submit either Web or Android native applications that will interact with the data provided by the OpenXC platform that will be present in the car. OpenXC can be considered as the API to your car.... read the full post.

How Federal Distracted-Driving Guidelines Will Shape Your Next Phone
www.wired.com
on 04/30/2013
Excerpt: Uncle Sam wants automakers to make it impossible for you to text your wife, check Facebook and watch a video while you’re driving — suggestions that could have just as much impact on mobile phone manufacturers as automakers. The guidelines – and they’re just that, suggestions, not requirements – are laid out in a 281-page report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (. PDF) and the Department of Transportation, which under the direction of outgoing transportation secretary Ray LaHood have made distracted driving a pet cause. “Distracted driving is a deadly epidemic that has devastating consequences on our nation’s roadways,” LaHood said in a statement.... read the full post.

Apple Patents Hint At ''iCar''
www.huffingtonpost.co.uk
on 04/25/2013
Excerpt: According to documents published by the US Patent Office and posted by Apple Insider, Apple has registered patents that would see a smartphone used as a car starter, a remote unlocker and a parking locater. Admittedly it's worth taking the news with caution - Apple patents don't necessarily mean a product is in the works, and many such concepts registered by the company have never seen the light of day. But the ideas do hint at a potentially closer relationship between Apple and car companies, such as that announced with Volkswagen in recent days regarding the so-called 'iBeetle'.... read the full post.

Parking Technology in Japan

on 04/24/2013
Excerpt: Here at ParkWhiz, we know all too well that parking garages and lots tend to vary. From valet to surface lots to garages that wind around so many times, you’ve literally driven yourself dizzy. Because flying cars most likely are not in our near future, the next best thing would have to be some amazing parking garages. In Japan, there are over 60 million vehicles to be housed in an area the size of the state of California. This calls for some creativity.... read the full post.

How Connected Cars Might Actually Make Driving Better
readwrite.com
on 03/14/2013
Excerpt: Connected cars are hotter than turbo-charged V6 running at 8,000 RPM. The hype about how they're going to change the driving and passenger experience is accelerating faster than Danica Patrick coming out of a turn at a NASCAR race. But most of the promises I've heard so far center around relatively prosaic things like better entertainment systems and integrated navigation. I like a great car stereo as much as anyone, but that just doesn't seem particularly revolutionary to me. (See also Cars & The Internet Get Together At SXSW)
