Audi build 'Wi-Fi enabled' car

Andrew Gilbert, an executive vice president at chip maker Qualcomm, said the car would provide a "bubble of connectivity" for travellers, allowing them to access web-based services at high speeds on the go.

The Audi A8 will feature the Mobile Media Interface Plus in-car navigation system, which will act as a mobile "hotspot", enabling passengers to connect Wi-Fi enabled devices to the internet. The sat-nav also has Google Earth built in to it, providing driers with high-resolution, three-dimensional satellite imagery. Audi said that the system, when combined with a street atlas and other online content, can provide real-time route planning, location-specific points of interest or local restaurant reviews, as well as up-to-the-minute traffic information.
