It's been 30 years since the first mobile phone call was made on Telstra's network, then called Telecom Australia, without the assistance of an operator. The phones were tied down to a car and cost a fortune to own, but they set the foundation for today's cellular network. Here's how they used to build them.

Researcher Don A. Bailey will be showing how easy it is to open and even start a car remotely by hacking the cellular network-based security system at the Black Hat security conference next week.

May 31st, 2011 in Travel Tech by CNET Staff, and AAP Comment VoteA blind man has driven a Ford Escape Hybrid around the famous Daytona racetrack in the US without the aid of a sighted passenger. Thanks to a swathe of technology kitted throughout the vehicle that fed vibration cues to the blind driver, the car was successfully navigated around the raceway at speeds of up to 40 kilometres per hour.
For the first time a blind individual has driven a car without the assistance of a sighted person at an historic demonstration in Daytona, Florida. John Pare spoke to Tim Webster.

As a response to the increasing number of fatalities on roads due to mobile phone distraction, the US Government is investigating what technology could be installed in cars to prevent drivers using their mobile phones. How long will it be before we see something similar in Australia?
Not content with laws banning talking or texting while driving, the US Department of Transportation is considering adding technology to automobiles that would disable cell phones. The move is a response to the growing number of deaths and injuries related to distracted driving.
Google has been testing self-driving cars on roads in California, according to a report, and so far they've avoided everything but a minor fender bender — caused by a human-driven car.
