There really ARE innocent commercial uses a car with WIFI and reporting capabilities that could be used very effectively. For instance, I’d like my wife’s explorer to be able to hook up with my home wifi and tell me the mileage, etc and if it’s time for an erl change. She can’t tell mileage from shit and don’t care. It’s frustrating.

If it weren’t for the FBI and NSA et all I’d be all over Ford to get this crap done, dammit.

Me, I'm old school. I go out and read the odometer.

On any car after a '96 you can plug in a $25 device, get some $20 software to match the car make and year, and get all that info over wifi or bluetooth. I use an ipod touch but it is available cor android and I am sure laptops as well.
