TAOYUAN, Taiwan -- A sleek, Taiwan-made electric car with an advanced telematics system attracted great interest at an event in May held by PC maker Acer to showcase the tech company's latest "cloud" technologies.
Acer's foray into smart cars is part of the company's shift away from the dwindling notebook personal computer market. It wants to jump onto the Internet of things bandwagon to catch the next wave of innovation in mobile technology.
