Internet TV heads for Cars Now

Just when you thought the car was safe from the long tentacles of TV, USTelematics throws a spanner in the works by delivering IPTV to its Voyager in-car entertainment systems, allowing drivers and passengers alike to continue their couch potato habits while stuck in rush-hour traffic jam. In addition, USTelematics will offer a "mobilecast" program known as 4VDO which will deliver both broadcast and video programming. I suppose with moves like these, it is only a matter of time before fast food companies begin to offer delivery services for those in a gridlock. Guess this means we won't be able to escape from ads while driving, eh?

This is coming whether it's via an in car solution or not. With stuff like MediaFlow and other mobile TV offerings from the carriers, coupled with phones that will handle video out, you should be able to hook right into the in car screen currently in many cars to display the content. Once the phones have been integrated with projectors you'll just be able to beam it on to the back of the seat or the glove box.
