Gee .. if we're lucky, someday your smart phone will be able to take your Corvette out for a little ride, while you stay home and pay the bills ..

It could not happen soon enough in my mind. An open system could quickly obsolete existing proprietary systems and end users would gain greatly. Sadly, as Glen e said, at least some of the car manufactures will be reluctant. If they start losing car sales because of their infotainment system they will see the light.

"According to Automotive News, the upcoming system is known internally as Google Auto Link (GAL). It will first be made available to members of the Open Automotive Alliance, a Google-led syndicate consisting of Audi AG, Honda Motor Co., General Motors Co., Hyundai Motor Group, and hardware developer NVIDIA Corp."
