Tablet PC Vehicle Interface - The tablet PC is inserted into the dash and activates the car. Applications replace previously physical elements of the vehicle such as the GPS unit, climate controls, instrument cluster and entertainment system. Incorporating the technology into the vehicle allows it to regulate functionality while in motion. For example, when the vehicle is in park, the driver could read their email, but when once the vehicle is moving it would change how it interacts by reading messages aloud instead.
