Part B Wi-Fi in the Car

For the Wi-Fi system that is going to be installed in the new Ford Models, there is not much Hardware that is needed for the Wi-Fi to work. All that is needed is a modem. This is nice of Ford, they are making the Wi-Fi system very accessible by most, and not requiring specific Hardware. What is needed is a USB connection but because USB is such a common connector it will not be a problem.

The use of this IT system is for internet use of the people in the car. The Ford model is going to be modeled off of the General Motors systems which has a feature of a 300ft in diameter of Wi-Fi around the car.

The major impacts for the stakeholders is generally negative. For Ford, the makers of the car, when negative feed back because of accidents due to distractions of the driver or things along theses lines, the cars with Wi-Fi will become unpoplar. Another stakeholder is the owners of the car. the drawback for them is that if they get distracted and get into an accident then they could die.
