I absolutely love cars and one of the best things I love about cars is how fast the technology inside our cars is growing. The 2007 Tokyo auto show showed off some awesome technology advances. Honda and Volkswagen took that opportunity to showcase its latest-generation of navigation system.
While some older in-dash GPS units rely on slooooooow DVD-based systems, both Honda and Volkswagen are embracing the much faster hard drive-based approach.
The Honda unit will incorporate a 40GB hard drive, a rearview camera, Bluetooth cell phone integration and a TV tuner. Japan will also get a special service called Internavi Premium Club, which gives additional features to the navigation system, such as map updates, weather, and live traffic.
The Volkswagen system will have a 30GB hard drive, and will also feature a rearview camera, TV tuner, and live traffic.
We should expect to see these systems sometime in the near future in the U.S., but it seems like we won’t get the built in TV tuner. Damn.
