PS: Grabbed the video from the mythbox and was able to upload to google video thx to the google kixp pipe and the somewhat usable local upload speed I’m getting on butterfly shown below

PPS: Those should be Kb/s not KB/S

    this gadget is very impressive! wow! perhaps he might add collision alerts to emergency services like 911 to sweeten the deal where in the event of an accident it notifies the emergency services and they can track where the vehicle is for medical assistance and recovery!

    Sir,
    I hope this young man takes the best legal advice available, and does not allow his invention to be stolen.
    First of all, he needs to form a company, and get worldwide patents.If he does not establish intellectual property rights, he will soon see someone else making millions of dollars a year from his work while he is still running around Mombassa in his baggy jeans.
    He is a potential multi-millionaire .

    HE HAS TO GET A LAWYER STRAIGHT AWAY.Even if he does not have one shilling to his name, there must be a good lawyer who will work for him in the expectation of being paid later.He could raise funds by selling shares in the company whilst retaining a large , controlling part of the equity.
    I, for one, would be glad to buy a few shares.
    I wish him all the luck in the world.

    Looks Really Cool!! Great Idea!!

    Just wondering what would happen if your cell phone runs out of battery or you don’t receive cell phone service in the area where you parked your car. Will you then be locked out from starting your car again.
