Image fulgurator at checkpoint charlie

Chrysler to turn vehicles into wireless hotspots

People who buy Chrysler LLC vehicles next year will have the option of turning their cars and trucks into wireless Internet hotspots.

The company plans to announce Thursday that the feature will be available as part of its “uconnect” system that will debut in most 2009 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep models.

The wireless Internet will come as a dealer-installed option and will work over cellular telephone links. It will come with a monthly fee which has not yet been determined, spokesman Todd Goyer said.

Concept cars give automotive designers a chance to let their imaginations run wild, often with outlandish results. But even by that measure, BMW has come up with something as strange as it is innovative — a shape-shifting car covered with fabric.

Instead of steel, aluminum or even carbon fiber, the GINA Light Visionary Model has a body of seamless fabric stretched over a movable metal frame that allows the driver to change its shape at will. The car — which actually runs and drives — is a styling design headed straight for the BMW Museum in Munich and so it will never see production, but building a practical car wasn’t the point.
