Earlier in the week it was reported that relationship between Ford and Microsoft has strained and that its possible for the former to shift its Sync in-car infotainment system from the underpinnings provided by Microsoft to BlackBerry’s QNX. Apparently Ford has been getting a lot of complaints about broken touchscreens and buggy software, which is prompting it to switch. That might not entirely be the case though, as Ford managing direction Pin van der Jagt reveals, even if Microsoft is out that don’t necessarily mean its going to be replaced by BlackBerry.

When we take the train and we insert our tickets or tap our train passes on the turnstiles, we don’t think too much of it. After all it is merely a gateway that separates us from our train. That being said what if there was a way to enhance it? Perhaps add music or interesting tones whenever a ticket has been inserted or a card has been tapped?
Can you find anything and everything on eBay? Apparently so, even the new all-electric Coda Sedan. Wait a minute here, why would one want to go to eBay to buy a brand new car, when you can easily walk into a dealership and drive away with one? Well, perhaps the fact that Coda Automotive went bankrupt in May last year has something to do with such a predicament, and it has led all of the leftover stock of Coda Cars’ EVs to be sold at “a substantial discount” to those who were interested. I suppose this is a bargain buy if there ever was one from Coda Cars, with the Coda Sedan going for $37,250, down sharply from the original $44,900 sticker price tag. However, Coda Cars even had a Coda EV on eBay that ended at a mere $14,000, picking up 24 bids along the way, making it worth way below the reserve price.
The chip industry has talked about the computerization of cars forever, and it looks like this is going to (finally) happen within the next few years. The mobile revolution has mass-produced the technology required for it, and the various app ecosystem have made the car industry realize that non-critical software does not require “years” of tests before deployment in a vehicle. Qualcomm had previously announced a Qualcomm 602A chip that is dedicated to automobiles, and today, the Gobi 9×30 modem will bring the latest LTE performance and capabilities to the car industry.
