Your phone rings. You pick up.
"Hello. This is your car. Someone is
fucking with me. Please come help me.
Dial 1 if you want me to honk the horn.
Dial 2 if you want me to deliver a threat on
the PA system. Dial 3 if you want me to
call the police. Please help me."
Well, fuck. What now?
There's
a second call. You switch over.
"Hello. This is your house...."

Could get a little out of control, but good concept. |
|
| |
Maybe my car could tell me where I left it last night, too. |
|
| |
"You drunk bastard, I'm still out behind the bar!" |
|

That's getting into AI...that threat would
be a voice recording of you (or a
threatening friend I suppose). I suppose
you could record a voice memo on your
car's security system and then the
choice to listen to it would be on that
menu. There's no reason you couldn't
call your car. |

This is marginally baked. Our local police, particularly K-9 officers, leave their patrol cars parked for extended times with detainees or their duty dogs locked inside and engine running. Their laptops, and phones are alerted of engine failure or tampering. Pretty neat system -- worry-free operation. |
|
| |
Well it'd be nice if it were available for civilian use. |
|
| |
OnStar just about does it all. |
|
| |
Do cars really have to use such coarse language? |
|
| |
Only when you're mean to it first. |
|
| |
Well I suppose you can turn on the
language filter...though I wouldn't
bother. |

37Signals' 37BetterMotors page has this feature. It also suggests having the car send you emails to notify you of service needs. |

How much would one of these talking-
car-units fetch, second-hand? |
|
| |
You could just kidnap a jockey and stuff him in the trunk with a walkie-talkie. That's free. |
|
| |
But then he can't see where your car is. And that will most definitely lead to coarse language. |
|
| |
It seems quite likely all these new cars with bluetooth will start making appointments with repair people... leave your bluetooth cell phone in the car, and so on. |
|
| |
[shapu] that's only free if you are emotionally and morally bankrupt |
|
| |
I know this is in the car category but
that's just because I couldn't find a
"Product: Security" category...It'd be
nice if your house did this also. |

Press four to activate Rottweiler sound track. |
|
| |
//Someone is fucking with me.// Press 4 if you want me to fake an orgasm. |

Fantastic link [wags].I think this is definitely the way we're going. |
|
| |
Maybe it should be connected up to MIT's Context project, which builds a map of your activities based on location and phone use.
"Are you sure you want to park me here? Last time you went off drinking and forgot about me, and I ended up getting towed away. Shall I call you later?" |
|
| |
But wags didn't post a link. |
|
| |
Sorry [waugs], typo. I like your link too... |
|
| |
My PC based CCTV system at the school can detect movement and can send an SMS, or play an audio message, or send a video clip to my email. I think that's pretty standard. |

Car: "Dave, Dave.. It's cold out here, Dave..." |
|
| |
This idea is straight out of Knight Rider.
"There appears to be some hoodlum pinching my stereo, Michael...."
Can we have the swooshing red light in the grill as well?? |
