Le Mans, France —During the 24-hr race at Le Mans (June 17-18), information flowed from General Motors race cars via the Internet to homes around the world, providing a new perspective on the term "spectator sport." GM's demonstration of its ability to connect vehicles to the Internet allowed anyone with Internet access to see first-hand what had previously been exclusive to drivers and pit crews. Telemetry data from four Cadillac and Corvette entries included speed, braking, rpm, and lateral g-forces. The experience included real-time positions of the cars on the course, and allowed viewers to see through the drivers' eyes during the day and even at night through in-car cameras and the first ever road-racing use of Cadillac's exclusive Night Vision technology.
