Here's your chance to develop the app you've always wanted and perhaps get paid, to boot. Ford has open-sourced the OpenXC platform for accessing vehicle data on a smartphone, tablet, web app or other mobile device. You can develop your own app and enter it in the Ford Personalized Fuel-Efficiency Ideas Challenge. See http://ford.challengepost.com/ for contest details. You can read more about the OpenXC platform at http://openxcplatform.com and download the software from the Github at https://github.com/openxc Looks like a fun summer activity. Of course, I need to have my Energi delivered before I can start hacking the software.
