If you need a daily dose of information about in-car computers and computing (like I do), or want to help provide one, i’ve just kicked off carhacks.org and I’m looking for contributors (contact damien@robotarmy.com).
The site is tracking what’s going on in the car computing space from all angles: computer-like features going into the car; entertainment features such as satellite radio going into the into the car via computers; Mac Minis going into the car, iPods going into the car, Playstations and PSPs installed in the car, and pretty much anything that looks, smells, or acts like a general purpose computer in the car.
I’ve completed work on the upcoming book Car PC Hacks and I really believe 2005 is going to be the breakout year for in car computing (of course, I’m biased…)

That the sound of someone dying in a car crash because he/she was distracted by their in car computer.
Ch-ching!
Agreed – and here’s the sound of a lawyer closing multi-million dollar settlement against the in-car computer manufacturer on behalf of the grieving parents of the dead teenager who was distracted by their in-car computer.
