Actually, i never really had the intention of using linux _in_ the
car. This is for the chase vehicle only. Inside the car we are using
a microcontroller known as the "Tiny Tiger". It's extremely slick,
with multitasking abilities, massive amounts of ioports, etc
etc... That's already been decided. We still have to buy/build all of
the sensors and design the communications software or implementation.
Those are the major things, but there are probably a ton of smaller
bits to do as well. :P

Cheers,
