A Fascinating New Patent from GM

Written Jun. 22, 2006 by in Technology with 0 Comments

...Customized Satellite Radio Playlists. Apparently, according to Orbitcast, GM has filed a patent for this handy gadget:

A system and method for customized music delivery to a vehicle including determining a playlist, storing the playlist on a server, selecting content corresponding to the playlist, transmitting the content to the vehicle by satellite, and storing the content in a telematics unit.

You know what is interesting about this? Despite the fact that a Satellite Radio site picked up on this first, this has nothing to do with Satellite Radio. Good morning XM, meet OnStar--your newest rival for my subscription dollars.
