AutoPC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AutoPC is a brand of carputer (the integration of a personal computer in an automotive environment) jointly developed by Clarion and Microsoft.
The first product was sold by Clarion as an aftermarket product. This product utilized Hitachi's SH3 processor running Windows CE. The device had an LCD screen capable of displaying information from the navigation program as well as voice recognition and speech capabilities. It included MP3 playback via CD-R and compact flash cards. The product was later rebranded as the Joyride and was expanded to include a navigation system, including GPS receiver and gyroscope for inertial navigation.
