Connected does not mean own. Connected includes the parts manufacturers, Rail and road transportation for both parts and finished products, steel and other metal mining and manufacturing companies that make the materials, Auto Insurance companies, Glass manufacture companies, fiberglass manufacture companies, electronics manufacture companies, Health insurance for all of the above types of companies, fuel or electricity for all of the above types of companies, fuel for the autos themselves, refining and transportation of said fuel. Take it a little further in the indirectly related, and you can add the grocery stores that the employees use to feed themselves, the education for the children said employees...... I'm sure I could come up with more that are directly or indirectly related, if I really try hard.

Sound like the tech I read about some years ago where lasers where mounted on a pair of eyeglasses. The lasers imprinted an image on the back of your retina so that the "screen" floated in front of you with a transparent background so you could still see. You wore some sort of augmented gloves so you could "reach" out and move objects floating in front of you or type on a virtual keyboard. When I read about it, the device had wires that ran to a portable computer a little larger than a hard drive that you kept in your pocket. I could see the same idea now-a-days using BlueTooth or Zigbee. It would be real interesting to see something like this with the motion tracking or spatial reality. Add to this another device that I remember reading about that helps paraplegics use computers. A device that tracks eye movement to the cursor and blinks for mouse clicks. I think it was an old MIT project, I'll have to look it up and post a link if I find it.
