Companies come together for Convergence 2004

The Challenge Bibendum is like, so last week. We're now amidst another auto industry gathering held in Detroit, called Convergence, in which people gather round to talk about how computers are ruining cars. I mean, um, how cars and technology can work together in total harmony. The central issue is the decline in automotive reliability due to electronic problems. Also on the chopping block: the gradual progression of telematics tech when compared to its wildfire-esque hype, GM's Global Visualization Center, HD (High Definition) Radio, and the fact that no one really cares about in-car Internet anymore.
