Us Auto industry

I don’t know about you guys but I’m disturbed that the country that invented the car no longer can compete with foreign cars pricing. The US auto industry is suffering because of lack of innovation. The automobile has done the same thing for over 100 years. I think they need to change it. It has been a stand alone product because of its expense. Now a days they incorporate luxury controls in lower priced models. What if they offered those luxury models for the standard price? They would attract confident customers that they are getting their monies worth.
If the US automakers co-operated with National cell phone /communication companies to make a compatible standard for everything then people would get more bang for their buck. Ford has started this with its new sync option. They could make speech to text software. There could be a phone book registry on your cell phone that was fully compatible with your car. On top of that the car could serve as a GPS receiver for a program that runs on your phone or in your car. That way you would never need to synchronize everything.
Cell phone companies need to let go of their controls on phones that work on “their” networks. Hard line phone companies had that same problem when they first came out. They would rent telephones to their customers. By letting that control go there would be greater innovation of cellular technology.
Eventually National Wi-Fi internet service will be extended beyond just cites and while you are driving you could dictate emails, send IMs. The car could serve as your antenna which would increase your ability to find Wi-Fi signals.
And eventually in the future we will all have computer/robot drivers permanently. And if GM, Ford, or Chevy incorporates all this technology into driving at no extra cost they will increase there user base especially with younger drivers. Imagine having a free chauffer that knows where he is in relation to all the other cars with GPS onboard. Traffic jams would be a thing of the past.
