Google in your car



At the moment, the only time that I feel like I get away from the world of Google is when I leave the house. That could change in the future, provided I buy a Volkswagen. The German car manufacturer has partnered with Google and chipmaker nVidia to develop a navigation system that is based on the Google Earth satellite data.

Apparently, they're hoping that the result will be "more real looking than anything that's available today", as it will feature accurate 3D maps that will help the driver recognize the surrounding topography.

Interesting.

Now, what's with Google and German cars today? And what would happen if Google now were to discover that Volkswagen are using spammy redirects? Would they kick their new partner out of the index? I wonder...
