Start your engines with your cellphone
By Chirag | January 7, 2008
Start your car with your cellphone? Why?
AS company called Autopage has come out with an interesting new technology. Some of it very practical, and other features not so…
Apparently with their new Autopage C3, you can be sitting in another country enjoying your holiday, and call up your car back home, and just for kicks turn its engine on!
Well I dont really see how this technology is useful, but I am sure the designers have interesting future applications for this technology.
It did however win the 2008 CES Bes of Innocations Award, and I am sure this is due to its other features, and not solely based on this one feature.
The C3 will also send you a text message if your can moves more than 25 feet without your permission. Now that is a cool feature – even though I am sure I have heard about something like this in the past.
The C3 allows your to control all the functions of your vehicle security system via a javascript downloaded programme to your cellphone. This obviously means that your would need a top of the line cellphone that supports java script to be able to take advantage of all the features it has to offer.
The system will also allow you to track your vehicle via GPS through your cellphone, and will send you a message if you vehicle is exceeding the speed limit while someone else is driving it.
I guess another very useful feature about this technology is that you can lock the doors and disable the starter via your cell phone.
So what is the price of this technology?
The price starts from $149.
If you want to see the Autopage C3 previewed, you can have a look at a video on youtube about how the technology works.
And here is the official website if you want to find out more information about this.
