Car PC - Automotive Computing Platforms


Introduction

Automotive computing is a bit off the beaten path for wearables, but there is quite a bit of cross over between both domains. Both domains are trying to solve very simular problems, and both can benefit from the other.

Though a bit off topic, this page is here to provide a starting point for integrating automotive computing systems and our wearables.

FreemanPascal (02/02/19) - I have a 93 VW Corrado SLC that I am planning on installing a Linux system in. It will include a wireless touch-screen (see TuxPad) as the head for the system. I'm hoping to have my car system use my wearable resources, such as my GPS receiver and mpeg3 storage. I am looking for other individuals who are interested in trying to integrate their wearable systems with their car systems. Drop me a line at pascal@pascal.org.
