More info on Roewe 350 Android 2.1-powered vehicle

The Chinese are first when it comes to having a car that has the Android operating system running within – we’re talking about the Roewe 350, where this four door sedan will see its Android 2.1 operating system run through the entire DVD system, enabling its passengers to access the Internet while engaging in a little bit of online chatting as well as social networking. Not only that, you can also access information including real-time traffic. Of course, the Android 2.1 which it runs is a custom variant known as Inkanet, where it caters mostly for entertainment and GPS systems. You can also chat with other Inkanet users thanks to a “walkie-talkie” function. Hopefully there aren’t any major loopholes that hackers could exploit – and that the Android OS won’t control other more important aspects of the car’s sensitive electronic equipment such as airbags and its brakes.
