This will also come with entertainment offers. Currently the world leader of vehicles Toyota developed the Entune, an application for smart phones that allows internet access from the car and several other activities like online music, navigation system through a mobile network.

Meanwhile Ford Company is developing a GPS and WiFi service for its vehicles. General Motors announced that their Buick Lacrosse would be able to perform video calls through Skype, and in case of an accident there will be a video recording of the event as proof.
