Another car revolution not only for the car lovers but also for the tech savvies. Singer lady Gaga and US President Mr. Barrack Obama are the few fans of the car to name which actually can tweet like human.

The car that can tweet is AJ, a future model of Ford Fiesta. The car will tweet when the automobile will be connected with the internet. The New York Times has reported that in the month of May on an exhibition the car had given a message as “It’s getting pretty dark; time to put the headlights on”.

Joe Rork, the information technology architect in Ford informed that the AJ’s mood remains joyful in a good weather and when there is no traffic. The tests with AJ were a natural extension of this strategy to see what’s possible when the car is connected and online all the time, “since mainly off-the-shelf hardware was used, including a high-speed cellular data connection, a Wi-Fi router and a Dell computer running Windows 7 in the trunk, any car could be turned into a Twitter mobile..”, Rork added.

The software “Auto” can retrieve data from windshield wipers, steering input and GPS data. The software can combine, say, real-time traffic notices about congestion with its current situation (stop-and-go braking) and weather forecasts (storms ahead) and then send a Twitter entry like, “Stuck in traffic; not looking forward to next 50 miles, either.”

Foursquare software can also be installed along with auto which also can retrieve the restaurants and tourist spots on the go.
