I'll answer in another post, but here is a business idea
involving cars, XML, and smart phones.

I don't know if it is new and I won't be surprised if it is not
new (my car is rather old, in any case).  Since I do not currently
know anyone who works in the car industry so he could say "boring"
to me, here it is, and it is _not_ remote control:

Make cars send status data for to my mobile phone's
browser.

That is, send vehicle status data for regular guys.

For example,

- Battery status.

- Are the lights off (including parking lamps)?

- Where is my car?

- Anything you auto electricians can think of :-)


While remote control of home appliances doesn't seem to sell so
well, I imagine a nice car status display on the phone might find
a few friends.

Technically, then, have the car have a small web server
(perhaps smaller than AWS), and have the server send an XML
document to the owner's mobile phone. Have that triggered
by web  requests. Add information in caches as necessary.

The phone's browser software will have no trouble to show the
car's status nicely, possibly with the help of an XSLT
referenced in an XML-PI. Add links to the car's makers'
company web site. Or to the next repair shop.
