Wouldn't it be possible to do something like that for "normal" cars too, using the ODB2 interface (that, by law, car makers have to include since years).
Use an ODB2 Bluetooth adapter to read the car data onto a cellphone (Obviously you won't get as much stuff as the Tesla offer, but at least you should be able to get the current speed/gas left), then send this data from your phone to the Glass.
I'm not sure if the phone can send data directly to the Glass, otherwise you would probably have to send this data to a server, and then retrieve it using the Mirror API. Slower and dumber, but it should work.
Anyway, very cool project. I wish I had Glass and a Tesla to try it out.
- BHSPitMonkey 13y agoThere are already a lot of projects for Android that do just that. Plenty of Bluetooth ODB2 dongles for sale for doing it as well. For instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0O5RZeXTDc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0O5RZeXTDc
- cantankerous 13y agoAre there any Glass applications for regular cars?
