The Chevy Volt: An Electric Car With Its Own IP Address

CrunchGear's Matt Burns recently called the Chevy Volt GM's " knight in shining chrome and white plastic ." Burns was not citing projected sales numbers, instead he was making the point that the Volt has saved GM by forcing the troubled automaker to "change internally and reinvent nearly ever aspect of how it does business." In support of Burns' thesis, IBM and GM revealed new details on Monday on the car's electronic backbone and how it came together in 29 months, from concept to finish.
