Yes, but we were talking irony, which doesn't need a car, either.

Also, I'm confused about irony. I've always understood it to be: "the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning". But I'm frequently wrong. |

Why us country dwellers out in the middle of nowhere! I do as much of my shopping online. Technology is a wonderful thing (when it works!!!), and the UPS, FedEx and mail/catalog carriers who haul all the stuff I buy! |

We also have another make of GPS in the car, which is needed in this bridge entrapped, mayhem traffic bottlenecked city. An over-the-airways way of keep up-to-date with the latest routes (i.e. avoiding constrution, seeing new roads, even avoiding accidents) would be fantastic (buying upgrades to existing maps can get expensive since as soon as they are made they are out-of-date). The devices get input from about 12 satellites to triangulate (multiangulate/pinpoint) your exact locaction but it'd be interresting to know how the new info (routes/pointes of interest/businessess etc.) would get downloaded. Thanks for the heads-up, looking forward to the news release and am very proud of you for having any part in it. |

If only that were so true on this side of the Atlantic... I'm in Atlanta, GA, a city which makes doing without a car very, very difficult. I got around okay for a while on a 50cc scooter, but a couple weeks ago had a bad enough accident that I've realized my "under 30" invincibility must have worn off early. So car shopping for me .

Maybe people who live in rural areas with no public transport system (good , bad, or mediocre) and live far away from shops, grocery stores, etc. |
