Just ordered a cheap ODBDII from ebay, hope it works with my Galaxy Nexus and my wife's Nexus S :) I still fell bad about Nissan choosing a closed system for LEAF's onboard computer... just imagine the apps we could have if they would let us chose Android with a well documented API ;) Or a...

Maybe Nissan is waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S II NFC edition to release the Android app with automatic proximity door unlocking via phone's NFC :P or is it not hardware compatible at all?

Maybe it's about time to ask for the source code of the algorithm calculating remaining range, and access to logs from every battery module... BTW the car has an onboard computer, can we install a widget showing real battery charge state and miles left based on different algorithms? What about...

No problem, just drive in eco mode :P The heat dissipation might be a problem, but if there's no air friction, you just need the initial energy pulse to put the car moving. After that, maybe the metal body can radiate 10W of heat in the form of infrared light. So if the inverter is 90%...

Internal Combustion Engines need fuel as well as oxygen from the air to run. Could this make ICE engines inherently hybrid? Even though we think we are only paying for the fuel, actually we end up burning the air we bread. Don't try this at home :) Fill up the thank of an ICE vehicle, and put...

This must be an agenda to get all Portuguese future Leaf owners to pay the additional TAX due in 2011 - the increased VAT (aka IVA locally), so those 10 cars don't count because they were not delivered to end users.

Google Maps is now going to version 5.0.. in the past year or so, it keeps evolving so fast when compared to old fashion car sat nav system - that look primitive and stagnated. http://erictric.com/2010/12/10/google-demonstrates-new-google-maps-5-0-on-nexus-s/ Google Maps also has a terrain layer...

I think if Nissan planed from the beginning, it would be cheap to include this... Nissan or any other brand, why don't we see them?

I think it would be easy for Nissan to also innovate with a system like this in Nissan Leaf because: - The stop lights in the Leaf are already like 2 LED VU-meter vertical bars. - The regenerative power information is already shown in the dashboard (although I'm not sure if it is directly...

Many things can be said about this topic. (Windows vs MAC vs Android vs Meego vs symbian) but I'd like to highlight just some advantages we could have using Android in Leaf's computer: - Stable and community driven Linux kernel (out of the box support for lot's of hardware like USB wifi...

I have the same policy of avoiding anything related to Microsoft products, my problem is that I already made a reservation for the Leaf and I really like all other features of the car. If I could put the touchscreen controlling my Nexus One Android phone, at least I could use Google maps with...
