A Meeting of Minds

Hyundai recently announced that it was teaming up with tech behemoth Microsoft to set up an Automotive IT Innovation Center.  PCMag.com reports that the technology will start being incorporated into Hyundai vehicles in 2010 and resemble the Sync system that Microsoft developed for Ford.  Microsoft has also created a similar system in Europe for Fiat (Blue and Me).  Along with voice control and mp3 friendly jacks, navigation and entertainment related features will also be on the agenda.  Software downloads will be available and users can DIY with a USB plug or take it to their local dealer.  The Checkered Blog will keep you updated.
