Just received word that I made it through the first round of the Amsterdam Antwerp Challenge! (€100 for 100 words)

Here is my proposed business plan:

All cars manufactured today contain at least one computer. My idea is two fold: to develop sensors that connect the automobile’s meta-data to the Internet; and to allow developers to create online applications using this data. Conceptually, it is like Google Analytics, but for cars. Added feature may include networking this data to the local mechanic, friends, or other drivers. My theory is that this information will get degenerate parts changed more quickly, make the road safer, save the owner some cash and ultimately help the environment. In the future, car designers should think more like computer designers.

I will post more info when I find out. Looks like in the meantime I’ll have to get started on the second round proposal.
