Hard to tell. The Infiniti (it's a Japanese SUV) ad shows a guy using voice recognition to speak with the car's computer. He has forgotten his anniversary and the computer makes amends by making reservations for two at a fancy restaurant. While on the move. Pretty slick. I'm not sure if an Ipad is that clever, surely my XP running desktop ain't that smart.
But, we are selling a car in this ad, not super smart smart phones. If that kind of electronic smarts is commercially available, I don't want it built into my car. I want it in a portable, fit under the arm package, that I carry into work. I don't want to leave that clever an electronic assistant out of doors in an unheated company parking space. I want it with me.
And, the Infiniti ad didn't talk about engine displacement, brakes, handling, cargo capacity, fuel economy, fitting skis or bikes or plywood onto the roof, rear seat amusements for kids, you know, real car stuff. Does any one still sell cars?
