15 December 2000 Project Viewfinder Exploring the Future of Automotive Computing For thousands of years, people have relied on the same technology to help them find their way from point A to point B, in the form of textual directions and maps. However, these solutions do not address all of the human-centric issues associated with navigation. Additionally, through construction and actual use of prototype in-car computing systems, we hope to find new uses for Compaq computing technology in the automobile which are unique and useful to both drivers and passengers.
Navigation is but one small piece of the overall vision for automotive computing in the future.
