• Resumen

  • Car maker Ford has just released OpenXC--an open-source hardware and software toolkit that will let the hacker community play around with the computer systems that run modern cars. While the first apps may add nothing more exciting than Internet radio, the open nature of the system should eventually lead to custom apps that give drivers far more control over their car's performance. Most cars are now run by computers that control everything from the engine to the incline of the seats but, until now, the driver has used only the data on speed, engine revs and fuel level.
