Car manufacturers in Europe and the United States are scrambling to equip new model vehicles with internet access. Although raising grave concerns over safety issues from driver distraction, it's expected that the option of having fast broadband in fast cars will be very enticing.
Australia's current highways and freeways are still a few miles off from having the 'superhighway' in their cars just yet, however it's believed that some Australian car makers are very interested in the possibility of including this feature into their designs.
Chrysler Australia spokesman Jerry Stamoulis said: "We're very interested in looking at it. With all types of new technology, we always push for them to come here."
Mercedes-Benz Australia spokesman David McCarthy said he expected internet access would come to their cars "but there's no timetable as yet".
