Chrysler with Wi-Fi Car Surfing

Beginning in August, Chrysler LLC customers will be able to get in-vehicle wireless Internet as an option in all models. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Chrysler will announce today that it will offer Internet access in its 2009 Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models. As someone who has been chided for texting while driving, I’m not sure I need the temptation.
The UConnect Web service uses cellular technology to access the internet, and Wi-Fi in the car to allow passengers to log-on. Pricing is likely to be on a monthly subscription basis. “It is a notion of always wanting to be connected wherever you are,” Scott Slagle, Chrysler’s senior manager of global marketing strategy, told the LA Times. “There’s a demand for that.”

The uconnect system will link cellular telephones and personal music players to the car’s onboard electronics, with the ability to control an Apple iPod with radio and steering wheel controls. The system also has navigation and real-time traffic features, controlled by voice recognition or a touch screen. Read more

Drive Safer for Pregnant Women

Becoming a first time mother with everyday activities such as driving can become worrisome, especially when you find that everything from your favorite jeans to your seatbelt no longer fit the way they used to!
An Australian company offers a special contraption to make car seat belts safer for pregnant women. The TummyShield is a seat belt designed to remove the lap belt that could potentially hurt an unborn child during a collision — even a minor one, and keeps the waist belt away from the tummy area.
Apparently this system is tested. I would still first check with your car insurance provider to see if this product is allowed.

Rather than having a lap belt, the TummyShield has two straps that buckle across the thighs, securing the passenger in the same way but without the risk of putting dangerous pressure across a woman’s abdomen. With a combination as simple as a cushion and safety strap, expectant moms are able to guard their most precious cargo without a lot of hassle.
To use, simply place the Tummy Shield cushion and fasten with buckle. You may need to use an extension piece if you are bigger or further along in your pregnancy. Put on your seat belt as you normally would, and then pull it away so you can fasten it securely to the provided hook.
The device is available from the manufacturer for $188.
