The license plate game. I-Spy. Countless rounds of 100 bottles of root beer on the wall. This is what I remember of the road trips from my childhood. Sure, the scenery was nice. But as a kid, the charm wore off quickly and even the best road trip games did little to stave off the boredom.
These days, we are lucky enough to have tablets and smartphones so we can play games or watch movies wherever we go. Chevrolet is even bringing built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi to their cars, trucks and crossover vehicles. Now your passengers can watch Netflix on the go, which makes me really wish something like this was available when I was a kid.
As an adult, having Internet in your car is great way to get a little more work done during your commute. The bus I take to work has Wi-Fi onboard, which lets me catch up on email or wrap up a few last minute things during the drive. I’d imagine that your carpool would become very popular if you drove one of Chevrolet’s vehicles with OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi, which can connect up to seven devices.
The longest road trip that I can remember was our family’s journey from California to Minnesota. Our family has a dairy farm in northern Minnesota, which was fun to explore when we got there. But oh boy, that was one long drive. There were long stretches where we didn’t even get a signal on the radio. It seems like a far cry from today’s vehicles with built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi.
I heard someone say that half of the problems in Seinfeld episodes would have been resolved if the characters had a cell phone. The same is true for the Griswolds and their family vacation. If they had Wi-Fi onboard, they would have known Walley World was closed before they even left Chicago.
Whether you are getting some work done during your carpool or turning your backseat into a home theater, OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi makes your drive more enjoyable.
