Siemens VDO Automotive, in conjunction with BMW, has enabled the BMW 7, 6, and 5 series of cars with its Top Level Architecture (TLA), a Java technology-based software platform that provides for the seamless addition and integration of location-based services, web services, and multimedia functionality throughout the vehicle's entire life cycle.
The term "automobile infotainment" implies both information and entertainment. The broader term of "automobile telematics" -- implying information, entertainment, and "services" -- requires a car, computing capability, wireless communication, and GPS functionality. Together, these technologies allow for almost limitless possibilities of functionality and services in the vehicle. And TLA, powered by Java technology, acts as the perfect broker for this new era of the automobile.

The future is here! The Java technology-based Automated Parking Management System, (8D APMS), developed by 8D, is one of the world's most advanced parking payment solutions. It turns parking machines into fully programmable wireless payment terminals. In Montreal, traditional parking meters are being replaced with the solar-powered pay terminals. Drivers can pay for their parking at any station, over a wireless network. Parking officers can use a PDA to determine which parking spaces have been paid for, and which cars are in violation.

These mighty machines can go where it's unsafe for man to go. Fielded by the Center for Robotic-Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR). This family of rescue robots - ranging from large to small - can search out and sense hazardous materials and seek out survivors in a structural collapse. The large robots can even transport victims to safety - Java technology at work helping to save lives!

Java Technology Fuels Unmanned Vehicle in Race Across the Mojave Desert
Tommy, an autonomous, unmanned Java technology-powered vehicle created by Team Jefferson of Charlottesville, Virginia, and sponsored by Sun Microsystems, competed with 39 other cars (winnowed down from a field of 195) as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Grand Challenge. The Challenge was navigating 175 miles of Mojave Desert terrain, encountering both natural and man-made obstacles, to win a grand prize worth $2 million.
In their run for the Grand Challenge, Team Jefferson demonstrated the ability of Java technology to control a complex, autonomous vehicle and the value of its integration with COTS (common-off-of-the-shelf) components for the simplicity and flexibility of design.

ONE Campaign, Help Grant Bono's Wish
You Can Help Grant Bono's Wish
Bono Has a Wish...
Bono wants to utilize technology to enlist his fans into his army against AIDS and poverty. As a recipient of the inaugural Technology Entertainment and Design ("TED") Prize, Bono's wish will become a reality - based on technology and mobile data services know-how delivered by Sun Microsystems and java.com.
Bono announced his wish at the TED Conference on Feb. 24, 2005, in Monterey, California.
Help Bono, Get a Free Screensaver or Mobile Ringtone
Bono is calling on supporters to join him in his fight. He's asking them to register their support for the ONE Campaign, a non-profit initiative launched by the singer and social activist to raise Americans' voices to combat AIDS and poverty. As thanks for their participation, supporters can download a free PC screensaver or, while supplies last, a free mobile phone ringtone.
Sun Microsystems will provide ongoing fulfillment and promotional support for the ONE Campaign via java.com and will also provide the Java technology-based infrastructure and mobile data services to support the communication and ringtone delivery.
Learn More, Get Involved!
To join in support of Bono's cause today or for more information, check out the ONE Campaign Web site.
