The biggest RSS reader?
Driving the road and driving the information could possibly get never get as close as this. Probably. Around 30,000 brand new BMW cars will be serviced by BMW’s telematics safety and assistance - ConnectedDrive. And one of the services to be used extensively is … {surprise surprise) RSS.
… ConnectedDrive offers drivers a dedicated website and a unique combination of facilities, emergency and breakdown assistance as well as driver convenience services, with new features such as Google Send-to-Car and RSS internet information feeds directly into the car.[Source]
The RSS feeds are used to syndicate news feeds in nearly all new models, except for Z4 and X3 models. Cars with ConnectedDrive can select and drag any particular feed into the ConnectedDrive portal and then this feeds can be viewed or read on the screen via the Idrive screen.
Now before you think that this may lead to more problems than solution, take note that the screen can only be while the car is stationary.
The car as an RSS reader. This has got to be the largest portable RSS reader so far. And it gives new meaning to portability.
