General Motors developing wireless download of new features
Detroit
GENERAL Motors Co is developing technology to allow new features to be downloaded wirelessly, the carmaker's head of vehicle development said on Wednesday.
GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said the company is developing a new electrical architecture for its vehicles, which he called "Global B", that will move much of a vehicle's computer power to the mobile Internet, or cloud. "It will become cloud based," Mr Reuss said, adding that the new architecture will allow future GM cars to have new features downloaded wirelessly. GM has looked to aircraft maker Boeing Co and military contractors for ideas on how to develop network security for the systems.
