Not if it's a Ford. intel.com{whatsnew=car_release} Intel Drives Connected Car PC Technology to Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show Industry Leaders Join Intel in Bringing PC Functionality to the Vehicle CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 6, 1998 -- With the arrival of Intel Corporation's in-car computer technology, traveling to this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas has become a new experience. Today, Intel took its Ford Expedition, loaded with a Pentiumr processor with MMXT technology-based platform, on the road to Las Vegas for CES. "Whether it's satellite-based navigation, Internet access, cellular phone calls, playing games or watching DVD movies, car drivers and their passengers will be able to enjoy the features we are showcasing at CES today -- a CCPC Ford Expedition that was driven from Intel's Chandler, Ariz., facilities to the show," said Ganesh Moorthy, general manager of Intel's Appliance and Computing Division. The new Ford Expedition, loaded with Intel Connected Car PC Technology, is the company's latest effort in making PCs in cars a reality. Since the announcement of its plans to bring PCs to cars in 1996, Intel has demonstrated Connected Car PC Technology at various venues. At the world's largest automotive show, IAA Frankfurt, Citroen unveiled a new model, the Xsara, with Intel Connected Car PC Technology. And just last week, Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories (BHMA) debuted a newly customized Lincoln Navigator with Intel Connected Car PC Technology at the 1998 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show. Paul

Brian, AMD CPU's in Your New Cars: We usually do not use CPUs in the automotive world except the navigation system which requires a tremendous amount of graphics. However, microcontrollers are very ubiquitous. Motorola is number one, Microchip is number two, Intel is number three, no AMD yet here at TRW - AEG. Although my AMD salesman does take me out to lunch quite often, we are looking at AMD's non-processor related products. Hope this helps you out, John.
