The auto industry is in shambles.  The cause depends on who you ask.  For some, it is the years of mismanagement.  For others the resistance to developing other cars besides SUV’s.  What you might not know however is a smaller group who consist of those who believe the lack of technology in cars is the Big 3′s real demise.  What kind of technology do I mean?  Is it manufacturing technology, engine technology, or more “geeky” technology consisting of the gizmos and gadgets inside of the cabin?  For the next few minutes we will be focusing on the last topic — the technology inside of the cabin.  If the Big 3 drastically updated the internals of their vehicles with mobile internet all around, bluetooth technologies, etc, could it save them?
