The best part: RealVNC is used as a communication platform!

Unfortunately, I don't see this take off since car makers don't get a revenue stream.

There should be an app for that! For any OS.

Now, how long before Jaguar is sued for patent violation in RealVNC...

According to Akihabara News, the SENS-240 uses Bluetooth to take over your voice, data, voice search, and even "video features" from your smartphone when driving. You can then control the SENS-240 using your smarpthone or tablet as an "advanced" remote when idle.
