Chevrolet to get in-car 4G LTE connectivity and HTML5 apps
C

Chevrolet has partnered up with AT&T and OnStar to bring in-car 4G LTE connectivity and a collection of HTML5 apps to some of the company’s future cars. The 4G LTE service also features a Wi-Fi access point built into the car that can support up to seven devices. This is just one more move in a growing number of steps towards a new age of connected cars.
