It’s natural for us to see cars going down the road every day in quick succession, to see them wait for the green light, swerve at corners, get stuck in a traffic jam. It’s natural for us to think of cars travelling from one place to another: A and B, the beginning and the end of a journey. All that we do can be seen in terms of a road: our deeds, lives, existence, history. And we need to travel on this road. A great way to do it is by means of connected cars.

A smartphone in your hand, you talk to a customer, you listen to a favorite ditty, you take a pic of a pretty face in a red skirt or even film some kids causing havoc in the crowd with their skate-boards.
