Google Car! First Android Equipped Auto Launches in April
Here’s a fun one out of the Beijing Auto Show: a car with Android 2.1 built in.
Chinese luxury carmaker SAIC (which stands for the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation) have slated for a late April release the Roewe 350, a brand new luxury car. What makes the Roewe 350 unique is it’s GPS, which runs on the same Android OS that the Droid or Nexus One run on. In addition to being able to get you from place to place or calculate traffic, the Roewe 350 can also browse the web & engage in a little instant messaging (though hopefully, not while you’re driving said car.)
The Roewe 350 will go for between $10,000 to $19,000. No details yet on exactly how it’ll connect to the internet, or if you’ll have access to the app store from the device, but it’s nice to see yet another barrier broken by the fine folks at Google.
