OK, no one wants a smart device that tells cops you've been speeding. What about GPRS enabled cars? That should discourage car theft on the grounds that anyone would instantly know the location of a stolen car.
Bad news for thieves. Great news for the likes of us, who'd invariably ask for premium reductions from our car insurers.
Would cops like it? Depends on whether they'd like to switch to solving crime...from giving speeding tickets.
what about the eHome, BMW should be latching onto that too. I would like my future home (garrage) to know when the car is in, and 'ask' the car (wirelessly) what the type pressure is like, petrol level, etc...
thats what the wireless link should be for, not just internet pda surfing - how boring!

Great ideas. Let's just hope BMW learnt from their previous experiment of doing it all with Windows CE. Don't want a repeat incident of that guy getting locked inside his own car and having to break his way out now do we?
