This is The Star Car - the pride and joy of The Star newspaper in Cleveland Co., North Carolina. A Wi-Fi cloud surrounds the SUV at all times enabling their reporters to report live from the scene of the action. They can stream a live written report or use the dashcam video camera. It's really a virtual TV live truck for much less (the cost of the technology and the SUV add up to around $60k). The mighty news networks are taking advantage of this new technology as well - Fox News Channel has one tooling around Iowa. And today they stuck GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee in the Election Link for a live chat while he was being driven down I80. How long will it take for this Wi-Fi cloud technology to hit the U.S. car market?
