    You mean cellular service, it has no cellular service. Wi-Fi is a communications protocol for communicating over short distances.

    It’s the router that generates the Wi-Fi.

      No, they mean WiFi. Everyone knows what WiFi is. But routers don’t grow on trees!

      Routers aren’t just lying around all over the place, dude…

        The router would be a part of the car… You don’t need an internet connection to utilize Wi-fi for local networks. It’s literally just wireless LAN.

          I’m not talking bout the Internet. Router as part of a car? That’s an insane proposition.

                  …Of course it is. Bluetooth is a totally different technology with different protocols and different uses. Bluetooth can be emitted by a single tiny on board chip with no need for a whole WAP.
