- Roewe 350 will be made by SAIC )Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation
- Google Android version 2.1 will be installed in the GPS computer (As used ithin the Nexus One & Motorola Droid.
- Full GPS directional capabilities
- Full web browsing capabilities including online chat
How is this significant?
Unfortunately, it looks like Google had no input on the design of the vehicle; there is nothing memorable about this vehicle’s appearance.
How do you see Google improving (or hurting) the automotive experience?
Vehicle price range is equivalent to $10,250 – $19,000
Online chat & hands-free voice communication could experience a complete revolution
Driver safety could see a much needed improvement by eliminating the need for handsets while driving
More vehicles could become Wi-Fi hot spots
Increased opportunities for in-vehicle entertainment and productivity
