He's missing some of the capabilities already being demo'ed in labs. Connected cars won't just talk to the internet and stop lights like he mentions in the article, they'll also talk to the road (e.g. beacons with the speed the limit, warnings the road is wet, has construction ahead, etc.) and other cars (e.g. there's a pot hole in 100 meters, there's a slow down, etc.). Long ago their were PDAs before there were smartphones and they weren't always connected to the internet or capable of connecting to each other. Our smartphones are always connected, however, and are capable of so much more. Eventually people will think the same about cars. So features better than "Fitbit for cars" are coming.
