What would you ask a SEMA VP of Market Research
As the the title says.
I am going to have an opportunity to meet a SEMA VP of Market Research. For those of you that don't know what SEMA is.... www.sema.org check it out.
So I was wondering, besides my own questions, what would people want to know? Apparently SEMA is aware of the "carputer" market as a potential growth, but they are not holding their breath about it for a few more years. May be you want to comment on that 
Anyways, just tell me what you would ask, carputer or not carputer related. |

Hardly think that's their jurisdiction, but we'll see what his opinion is on that.
I expected more people would be interested in asking something... oh well. |

Thanks Scouse, another thread going to waste. Sometimes I do wonder if trying and getting the useful input is worth it here. |

Sorry 
I made the vapourware smaller - maybe no-one will notice it.

How about some improved ways of reducing glare, or its effects. God damn sun.

yeh, changing the LCD to the reflective type, so the sun light actually helps make it brighter

Perhaps a look at some of the laws that are currently in effect that limit the use or installation of carcomputers. No telling what might be coming down the pike as far as legislation is concerned....

I like that one, that's definitely something of a big concern, on user part as well as manufacturers' |

Why would we need solar power to do it? Our screens use something like 8 Watts of power.

Cos it would be environmentally friendly and when the sun is bright the screen goes brighter. No need for any fancy circuits
