I'm told that the user interface panel is completely separate from the drivetrain control (one would hope), so runaway apps or crashes should not disable the vehicle. "local" apps: manipulate information or peripherals already onboard the car.ĭepending on how nice the SDK is, being able to write software to talk to peripherals plugged into the car's USB ports could be interesting. "inbound" apps: deliver information or services _to_ the car from the outside
"outbound" apps: From the console to some external device, system, or service Home security system control (view cameras, etc.) Access to home automation systems (turn on the lights, heat, hot tub, etc.) from the road. Some of the apps I'd like to see (or write): I'm super interested in this, and there's some hope that there will be an SDK or other developer toolkit available eventually (so I'm told). I've asked the folks at the Santana Row dealership a few times about user-written apps. guest Reviving this old thread instead of generating a new one. In the video, the guy says info about speed traps is updated daily, but I'd think with a cloud connection it could be up updated instantaneously with other devices automatically reporting in. It's basically some radar detector hardware that's then controlled via your smart phone and integrates the phone's gps and cloud connectivity for some Trapster like features.

(The whole concept of phone apps was still just catching on with the public and thus generated a lot of buzz.) We spoke about the Model S for a while and he said he'd be very interested in developing an app for it even if the user base was small. At the time he said the number of iPhone users was dwarfed by the number of people that just used the basic SMS text-based service, but that it was important to have an iPhone app for the publicity and the cool factor. I spoke with the CEO of Trapster a couple years ago.
