I’m going to step forward and propose mini usb as the standard….

Cars used to be simple, and now everything has been made to complex. Its like Cell phone chargers. Why can’t they all just be Mini USB, (or that mini USB variation with the Voice, and Video in out connector)?

Making a car that is modular and based on standards would improve the entire market. There is no reason Ford need to engineer a proprietary Oxygen sensor. All cars could use the same, and save on engineering resources.

I do have to admit when I saw the headline I thought this was going to be more about how we were going to get cars to Speak to Network Infrastructure… too many 4g and Metro-Wifi threads of late… So the link is to how I got my Mini to be always networked.
