Chrysler will announce Thursday that wireless Internet will be offered as an option for all its 2009 models. The nation’s third largest car manufacturer has named the service UConnect Web, which is a mobile hotspot and will be the first to offer such technology.
Chrysler, currently struggling with sales down over 19% compared to last year, is hoping that providing motorist access to the Web will set it apart from its competitors and help with declining sales.
Safety advocates are less than happy by Chrysler's innovation, fearing it will cause car accidents. Hands-free legislation will go into effect July 1 in California and Washington in hopes of reducing car accidents caused by driver distraction. The law will prohibit talking on a cellular phone without a headset or other hands-free device. |
