CNET's taking car tech on the road
Today, many cars come with factory-installed GPS navigation systems, DVD players, and hookups for iPods. And that's just the beginning--car tech is getting more sophisticated every year. No one knows technology better than CNET, so who better to review and explain high-tech cars and the gear you put in them? In our new Car Tech section, you'll see reviews of the latest cars, with a special focus on advanced automotive technologies. We'll look at the newest concept cars, explain the ins and outs of hybrids, offer a forum for you to show off how you've modified your own vehicles, and more. Cars have finally caught up with CNET, and we're going to give them our expert attention.
