Now here is a cool article. We all know its coming. On-Star has been a big hit for GM. Just imagine what this will do for custom Web Apps. Geo-Aware web applications will certainly take a boost with the implementation of this technology. What about Travelocity for your car. Of course who gets in the car to take a trip before they know where they are staying. Seriously.
And it will take 10 years or so for this to filter into the car population so that applications and SaaS websites will have enough volume to make a profit. Pretty cool though.
Final Thought: Car instant messaging will be dangerous if someone cuts you off. :-)

Very true!
I knew In-dash Internet Access was coming... but didn't know how soon.
Anyway, I will miss that Navigation DVD, but on the upside of that, I wouldn't have to worry about updating the maps my Car Navigation uses.
I don't have to buy an iTouch (or an MP3 player) either, if I can get all the MP3 music through an online service.
Move over Live-traffic over radio!
Now only if, all this technology was offered in a Hybrid that I can afford, I think I can trade-in my Hybrid Camry for that ;)
