Monster boondoggle: Network World: US to standardize car app/communication device components is a bit of a fluff piece on US DOT: RITA: Request for Information Connected Vehicle - Next Stage Certification Environment.
(And I call it a boondoggle knowing that friends of mine will profit from this... Mostly because said friends have shared with me the silliness of the thinking behind it.)

I used to be pissed off about government spending like this. Now I just feel good for my friends managing to ride the absurdity gravy train.
When life imitates Gogol or Kafka, what else can you do?

As a point of information, there was an article about it in this month's American Motorcyclist, the monthly mag of the American Motorcyclist Association, so I guess the PR push is full-on at this point.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
