Ultra Hal 7.0 / A.I. installed in cars. Version 1.0

« on: March 27, 2009, 12:24:55 am »

Im going to be getting pictures up soon, of what I want to do with this. Postioniong etc. Luckily I have an outlet in the trunk area.
Ive wondered about using a laptop vs PC tower etc and I was wondering if anyone could think of the pros and cons of everything.
I figure laptops are obviously compact but pc's youd be able to change parts. asides from that im kinda at a loss cause ive seen min car pcs that are almost as small as laptops but can hardly do as much as one. Not to sound like a stupid n00b but between the two for some reason im leaning towards a tower. Why I dont really know; but I figure I'd just be better... with no justifiable means though. Any input would be more than greatly appruciated. After ironically this simple and basic question I know almost exactly what I want to do.

Well contrary to Jasons belief a rav4 has a lot of trunk space. So far I came up with the trunk has a cover in wich i can put a tower underneath it. I need to figure a way to make sure it doesnt over heat though. One of my friends is gona change the outlet so it works for computers instead of cigaret lighters. Asides from that fact is I havent completly thought in stone of what I want to do. I do want an AI to be able to talk back and forth so I figure somewhere in the front I would place a mic there. I have a friend though who said I should get a micrhophone that can attach to the back of the headrest (kind of like cell phones).  I was also wondering how to do the speakers. Wheather I should just put like computer speakers around the car >_> or actually attatch it to the car speakers.

   Something else that came to mind was wheather or not ya would need to put another battery in or how to moniter the power source properly so like ya dont drain the car. Some ciggarete lighters stay on when the car isnt keyed up but some stay off. Any recommendations on what to do?

   Another thing is is I saw a picture of someone isntalling like a 4 usb port into the car console to access it upfront. Another person I saw had a freakin video card and like cd player or something in the glover box... it was awsome. I was wondering if like put a cd/dvd player in the glove box for easy access. Or take a changing cd like 6 cd changer or something and use that. Also for now I'd only use one computer and if I needed more space just get an external HD.

   As for moniters I dont know what I'd wana do. Origionally I was thinking a roof mounted touchscreen but I dont think id fit. It doesnt even have to be touchscreen (just need a way to controll it.)

Ps. What kinda car do ya have? And thanks for making this post... wasnt sure if I made it if he'd try to get it deleted or something ^_^

Um... the pictures I showed above are not mine... I never said they were. I said they where on my computer, ive been collecting photos for ideas and how to properly install everything so I dont well, cars are not exactly cheap. Also my rav4 has a VERY big trunk so Id suggest researching the car before you talk.

Also for my screen name I can show you forums (other ones) that ive been using this screen name for well over well many years. Id derived from a video game called jedi knigt academy (yes im a star wars nub) (Google Wolfy Jowol... thats what the full name stands for. you can see a little family tree even message that person and ill respond proving its the same person)


I dont get where you can say im lying and deceiving people by just my username. Im not here to flame or recieve flames but rather collaborate ideas with people to make the most effectice ai for a car... woudlnt that be cool? Instead of starting a war I was hoping mabye you could respond and we can settle this. I dont exactly know where you got these ideas (IE my user name means im lying to people) but I would appruciate it if you could explain it.

Anywho regardless,to everyone else I was wondering if we could still share ideas; however I'd recommend making a thread that implies putting electronics and AI's into a vehicle so for the passer byer it would be easier to spot. Anywho thats my two cents for now. If anyone has complaints please tell me; I like to settle problems swiftly and quickly. Take Care ^_^

Howdy, I just joined this forum with hopes of the same idea and when I saw this post I became happy that im not the only one with this well... Rather interesting scheme in mind lol. Theres some interesting websites as well out there that go on a similar basis though its more media based not AI based. If it where me (I have a Toyota Rav4 2006 model) so I have plenty of room to work with luckily.  One site that might help is  http://www.customcarputers.com/index.php?cPath=27&osCsid=48357ca5b2602f9fde246553c5935481

I was planning on putting a moniter somewhere (not neccassarily one of these) so I can access it when needed. Either a touch screen or put usb ports up front (Ill find pictures of someone else doing it eventualy... on my comp but lost lol) The other idea i had was just putting a tower in the trunk setting it up and then just having a laptop to connect directly if for some reason i ever needed to modify anything. I must admit though I did not think of letting it controll wipers etc and basic things but that idea has provoked me into thinking of how to do it lol. I am just getting started in the designing phase alone, so all I have at the moment are ideas. If you have anymore Ideas and/or already are working on this It would be much appruciated to keep us informed. Anywho its late but see ya around

Ps. To wet your appetite heres another crazy idea. Theres now better ones coming out but check it out... a HUD for the windshield

See ya around :p ^_^
