You name it.

Also, put a CAN-transceiver in there and you can use the Jolla as extra console for your car, getting more, and more accurate readings from the car's sensors. Perhaps even tweak settings
I don't know if they have plans for any vertical markets but sensor-based OH could lead to it being used by technicians in certain fields and partnerships and co-branding could be used. I can see that as a potentially untapped resource for the future.
