More stuff to make your car a rolling entertainment center/office. And more stuff that will eventually get you a ticket for using. Cops calling you "distracted".

Sounds like a good idea for business people, you'll have wifi wherever you go(hopefully not when your driving..) no need to scramble for hotels with internet... and would make roadtrips ALOT quieter..
BUT! I can see it being pointless for most people. By that time alot of devices will have their own way to browse the internet just like our smart phones do & will have no need for wifi. The only benefit will be those people (like some of us) who still run off of old devices.
If it was out now, it would be great. But by the end of 2014 everything we have now will be obsolete.

Just make everything options that I can remove and have a cheaper car, and I'm all for it!!!

I'm ordering my Camaro as bare bones as I can make it. I wish I could STILL remove options from it.

I think they should roll the monthly payment into your car payment so you can use it as long as your paying for the car. I'd don't think i need it when i already have a 4g LTE smart phone but if it was included id use it

That makes sense. You can be guaranteed that they won't do it. LOL.
