    I'm beyond geek'd for something like this! Now we just need our cars to fly, Jetsons-style!!! I'll even get a dog named Astro and a robot for a maid.

    Lol Dimple, you didn't watch the full version of the video on http://www.ngconnect.org ? They include a free robot maid and dog if you pre-order.

    Wow.

    Love this, especially the whole WiFi hotspot aspect.

    Imagine the possibilities with that!

    And the Master Plan continues...to entertain people, halting their brains so they don't get used...ir order for them to stop thinking to much and perceive and understand what we are all doing here, also so people can't perceive what is being done in the backstage. Entertainment is the key. Keeping the mind busy...the real freedom is in everyones mind...busy with unimportant things.

    It almost seem that most of the people just exists to be entertained, nothing else...nothing more...

    How you ask? Well...in a busy city, rushhour, busy traffic, there's alot of time to start using the brain...thinking...brain = ultimate weapon of freedom....so in order to stop people using their brain and perceive everything being done...well....enterntain them once more. Keep the brain busy or halted.

    That is something id REALLY like to see, but lets be honest, its going to be another 5/10 years before this sort of technology is going to be integrated into cars as standard, when you take into account the whole country needs a wireless internet access to be able to provide that internet access to the car itself.

    Love the plans thus far, cant wait until its rolled out to the masses.

    The ng Connect Program is certainly revolutionary and the use of this LTE technology will really open up the possibilities, which would be truly endless. This concept has the potential to be huge!

    This has been long awaited! Although.. I'm sure the rate of vehicle fatalities will increase. They should disable ( gaming, video, etc. on the drivers panel while in motion ) .. I bet that is already a planned feature.

    Sounds like a good way to distract yourself from actually driving, which is what cars are really for.

    I mean the passengers could have a good time, but the driver really should be focused on not crashing into anything.

    Its pretty interesting, we might end up to a point that the car will drive automatically.

    Rolls Royce have allways created awesome cars and concepts.
    Its a pitty that the prices are way to large to get one, the requirements also.

    lol, why does the family have to look like creepy robots from "surrogates"?

    Wifi for cars is already out. I remember seeing the module you would install into the car at an Advance auto parts store. It's $30 a month , and If I remember correctly it is 4G speed. It works just like satellite radio does.

    But a car like this to take advantage of it.. VERY nice. I just hope the car warranty covers computer viruses

    This excites me more than any other post on Mashable. I'd pay $50-$100 a month to get this tomorrow. I'd stream Pandora through my stereo, link up my GPS to traffic, watch movies in headrests, Yelp restaurant reviews as we drive... The possibilities are endless. Amazing.

    Looks like the days of playing slug bug and license plate count down have come to a stop sign, or is that a light that just turned green! Looks like moms got her lesson plan ready for the kids. I wonder what it is today....maybe how to make better choices.....games, movies, morals or creative thoughts?

    GameStreamer failed to be mentioned in this article:) GameStreamer = Gaming 2.0 and is one of the main figures representing gaming in ngConnect.
