[VIDEO] Inside Windows Automotive

[NetRyder]

Mike Hall (remember his tour of the Windows embedded lab?) took his camcorder over to get a look inside what the Windows Automotive group is doing.

Check out this car! (Er, it's a Hummer that's decked out with some interesting technology). Lots of speech recognition technology here.

A whole lot of interesting stuff in this video...yet another great link at Channel9.

If you have the time, listen through the whole thing (~17 mins), but if you want to get straight to the good stuff, just skip ahead about 7 to 8 mins into the video, and you can see Mike actually demonstrate some of the features in the prototype.

Does it say: 'Error: Unknown Error message # 388489b4884b?'

Only if it were running Windows ME, which it's not, so...

blue screen of death when the car breaks down...

Old joke...doesn't apply anymore.
If there is a blue screen, the cause will be between the seat the steering wheel.

I think it that becomes as-standard, I'll go back to using the bus... or.. walking ...
