Chrysler’s Peapod Starts It Up With The iPhone

If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got

– “Start Me Up” The Rolling Stones

OK. So maybe I just wanted to write a post using the lyrics from a Stones song. But really, it is much more than that. This is the story of a car. Not just any car, this is a car that runs on your iPhone.

Sure, the new Peapod EV prototype car has a normal key, like any other car, but you can just put that thing away because you will not be needing it now. Not if you have an iPhone.

This car comes equipped with a special iPhone dock. Just pop it in, run the special app, and your iPhone fires up the ignition, serves as a navigation GPS device, and who knows what else. But really…using you iPhone to start up a car. Now that is a feature worthy of a song (available on iTunes)!
