The Apple Maps fiasco
excepted, we have it pretty good where location-based services are
concerned. But in areas like South East Asia, that's not entirely the
case. Which is why Japan-based Terra Motors is prepping to launch the
A4000i, an electric scooter
that also features an iPhone connector (compatible with the 3GS and up)
for big data collection. The company's positioning the A4000i as a
means of gathering location data -- useful for mapping -- as well as
mileage and battery performance (a lithium cell rated for 50,000km) for
that region of the world. There's no word on exactly when Terra plans to
launch this scooter overseas, but when it eventually does, expect to
see the A4000i retail for around ¥450,000 (about $4,500 USD).
