Cheap Will Be Smart. Expensive Will Be Dumb.
- mattmanser 15y agoI'm still waiting to be able to drive my car with my iPhone :( This is fairly obvious when someone says it to you, but I guess you've got to think of it first. Though this might change if manufacturers figure out a way to keep charging for expensive devices, but at the moment they've little incentive to upgrade an old product and the longer development cycle will obviously lead to 'dumber' tech on launch.
- narkee 15y agoI imagine there's a market out there for hardware "plugins", to upgrade connectivity and functionality of these expensive, dumb systems. Imagine a small, lightweight raspberryPI type device that can plug into your car, or boat, or into the back of your fridge, that has Wifi and Bluetooth and provides whatever functionality you need. As technology advances, all you need to do is upgrade the small plugin, and not the entire car. Just a thought...
