Start Your Car From ANYWHERE

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

AutoPage C3 (CES 2008)

— January 8, 2008 — Autos
The cell phone controlled AutoPage C3 has some ground-breaking functional innovations... like the ability to start the car from anywhere in the world. Seriously. I could be having a beer in a bar in Germany, and if my sister called from Canada because she needed something out of my trunk, I could open it for her. That's right! Not only can you start it from just about anywhere, you can also roll the windows up and down and pop the trunk open!

You'll never have to worry about leaving your keys in the car again with this gadget. Send the message to your car via cell phone, and have the windows roll down so you can reach inside.

Imagine, your partner left something in the car on a blistering cold day. You don't want to run out, and why should you, it's not your responsibility. No matter where you are, whether it's snug under your warm blankets, or tucked away downtown in the office already, your phone can open the doors for you!

Just don't drunk dial your car and accidentally open everything, it would be like Christmas for thieves!

Trend Themes
1. Cell Phone-controlled Car Access - Innovative technology is offering the opportunity to remotely control different aspects of a car, such as starting the car from anywhere or opening/closing windows or trunks.

3. Keyless Car Access - Innovative technological devices could provide car owners the opportunity to remotely access and manage their vehicles without having to worry about carrying physical keys around.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Industry - The automobile industry could benefit from developing technologies that offer more remote connectivity options, which can improve car user's experience.
2. Telecommunications Industry - Telecom companies could provide network and software solutions to help consumers remotely manage their cars more efficiently, leading to new revenue streams.
3. Smart Home Industry - The smart home industry could leverage on new technologies that allow homeowners to manage more devices around them remotely, including their cars parked outside.
