What are the chances that BMW is the "unidentified automaker?"

Either way, it's a pretty interesting concept...

No offense.. but in my ears this sounds really useless and unnecessarily complicated process. I prefer to burn a DVD full of cds, and let it slide into the dash

Yep. It's interesting, but nothing more than that, IMHO.

I can see it now. Every truck on the road will be roadcasting advertisment spots for the products it is hauling.

Sounds like a good concept. I would really be interested in Roadcasting on long drives. Having software to screen my music would be ideal. I don't use music a lot around town, mostly news if anything at all. They mention GM in the article as a side note.

I chose that word carefully because I haven't yet figured out if it was a good or bad thing...

Is there anything better than putting a bunch of mp3s on a DVD...? To me it feels as if I have an endless amount of music in the car, and it's real easy to create playlists by numbering files etc. Secondly I know the quality of the music, concerning bitrates etc.
