They have? New Chevrolet cars are getting an Android-based stereo. There were also some car-audio enthusiasts that were working on an Android based car computer.

Android-enabled car radios sound like a nice idea :) .

The chinese MP3 car radio I used to have was pretty limited, I'm hoping for something like that for the masses.

Maybe I just need a pod/connection for my smartphone, not really a radio.

I have seen a new Toyota Prius running Anroid myself. You can plug in a sim card and use Waze. Just awesome. I hope the trend keeps growing.

And the sim card was just a duplicate of the person's regular line, of course only one could be used for calls at a given time.
