AT&T and General Motors said on Monday that they were
working together to add wireless service in 2014 to most Chevrolet, Buick, GMC
and Cadillac vehicles in the United States and Canada.
According to The Bits
Blog at nytimes.com, the companies have not determined how much the service
will cost, but AT&T said it would make its latest network technology, 4G
LTE, available for the vehicles.
“The car is going to be a smartphone with four wheels,”
Glenn Mr. Lurie AT&T’s president of amerging enterprises said in an
interview. “The opportunities are endless when you think about adding an LTE
pipe to a car.” He said potential apps might display real-time traffic on a map
or perform enhanced vehicle diagnostics, giving consumers a deeper
understanding of what is happening inside their cars. Children sitting in the
back seat might be able to stream Netflix over the wireless connection.
