BMW has plans to provide you with same entertainment inside the car as you get inside your living room. The company has built a prototype X5 SUV that has a satellite receiver attached to its roof to record the video and music on the move. The car has been equipped with an innovative multimedia entertainment system that combines all the elements of a TiVo crossed with an Apple TV, a satellite box and a multimedia cell phone. The entertainment system is capable of synchronizing movies and TV shows from a home computer while the car is parked in the garage and store the data in a 20 GB hard disk.
This is a great idea but it may be several years before the system meets commercial application as there are several problems related to the implementation of this system like licensing and trademark technicalities, plus the unwillingness of content providers to take the plunge and offer service.
The company is determined over the initiative and has said that it will come out with such a thing in future going step by step and providing a flexible and easy way inside the car with your existing subscriptions.
