Chrysler Offers Live Mobile TV – Media Center In Minivans

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Chrysler is the 1st auto maker in the United States offer live mobile TV. Why? Because Chrysler gets it. They get the fact that driving is a time where you feel ineffective being restricted from mobile devices and being connected as we normally are.

There’s lots of people still guilty of texting and driving, but it’s not because they want to put everyone else in danger.

Today we are all in the same boat, its a scramble of getting things done and managing things has become a major chore. Technology and all it’s widely adopted time saving techniques has one problem, they require your attention.

Without digressing, the applications and social networks have been slowly pulling us away from our other responsibilities and if they could they’d get you while you’re driving too. The great thing about what Chrysler is doing is making a solution that has the capabilities in bringing e-commerce to the automobile.

Mopar eStore

“With online ordering, Mopar will make it easy for consumers to purchase authentic parts and accessories. Consumers may now log on to the Mopar eStore at www.mopar.com and purchase any of the more than 100,000 parts and accessories available for a variety of Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and Plymouth vehicles.”

Sure, this is extremely enticing to enthusiasts and will be a very slick way to sell products, but there is another opportunity that some may not be overlooking for long and that’s integrating an application marketplace for developers. Consider the ability to select groceries from a touchscreen and electronically sending in an order to your local grocery store. Time is the only thing we can’t get back, so we’ll have to wait and see if Chrysler is heading that way.

Kids and DVD’s and Video Games

Perhaps you’ve seen just how engaging games, TV and movies can be for kids. They are learning machines with their little minds, so how about delivering some educational programs like learning a foreign language or playing an interactive game to identify sounds.

What about connecting and learning between friends in different vehicles, all learning together or saying hi via live streaming video.

There’s all sorts of opportunities here, it’s great that Chrysler has taken this step. One last idea, if it were a detachable device to take onto planes or into other Chrysler vehicles might influence what kind of car to rent on that next vacation.

Chrysler Building Cars The Fiat Way – Starting with New Grand Cherokee

Monday, July 26th, 2010

fiat

When Chrysler and Fiat joined forces they did so because together each one would bring more to the table than they could individually. This is typically true only in cases where two companies actually have gaps to fill, because in other cases a merger can cause conflict and difficulty in trying to bridge the culture of the two.

Fiat is widely known for their technology and innovation with regards to manufacturing. The Italian company has been very good at building a car that has no reason to compare themselves to the others because they truly are unique. One look at a Fiat and you know what that brand stands for and then having a conversation with someone who owns a Fiat will be an even further indication of a company that doesn’t need to be the biggest in the world.

If there were niche car companies that could take on the giants, Fiat would be one, if not the only one which has the capabilities of being as large as they want to be but at the same time staying as small as they should.

Fiat makes small cars, and they’ve been doing well at it so why change.

There’s more to just making a small car that factors into being a fantastic automobile manufacturer. They have basically taken everything they need and made it fit for their application. Jump into a Fiat and you’d see some of these things jump out at you, and soon you’ll like to know more about this great company.

Chrysler partnered with them because they wanted to leverage the capabilities of a great car manufacturer, it’s processes, it’s engineering, it’s quality for producing great products regardless of what the others are doing. It’s as if they wanted to get with a manufacturer that could demonstrate self sufficiency and build great products that give a strong brand awareness.

Chrysler and Fiat are making their worldwide debut together with the Grand Cherokee, and it’s extremely exciting because you’ll hardly notice the seamless blend they’ve achieved in combining efforts here. But that’s not to say you won’t notice something great when you drive it, it’s going to feel different and it’s going to feel like there is a level of technology we’ve been waiting for to inspire us as car owners to try to sense where these improvements are at.
