Do you think that it makes sense for all cars to be equipped with internet access?
Smart phones with sat nav are becomming the norm. It won't be far away when routes can be updated with traffic delays and route plans amended on the fly.
It is so handy having a smart phone so why don't manufacturers squeeze the tech from a very slim smart phone into a car radio? They can use a 12v power supply, and will benefit from a much larger screen.
Instead we have relatively thick ICE electronics that only perform basic functions and are not all that intuitive and easy to use!
I think PG was on the right track when he made his Carputer! One day all cars will be fitted with them!
