Chrysler Says it Will Roll Out In-Car Internet Access Later This Year
Chrysler, the third-largest U.S. automaker, says it will be the first car company to provide in-car Internet access.
The feature will be added to existing vehicles by dealers beginning this year and later be installed on the assembly line, said Frank Klegon, Chrysler's product development chief.
The technology will allow passengers to search Web pages using signals from mobile phone towers. Consumers initially would need a subscription to a wireless phone carrier to ensure uninterrupted coverage.
"We want to make the radio itself a WiFi port," Klegon said.
