Call me old fashioned, but I've always been of the general feeling that driving a vehicle and watching video shouldn't necessarily mix. That said, I can appreciate the desire to have some Spongebob playing in the backseat during an eight hour drive to grandma's house. To that end, MobiTV and UIEvolution have introduced a solution set to bring streaming video to motor vehicles.

The new Connected Car solution is set to be introduced at Telematics 2008 Detroit show. According to a joint release issued by the two companies, "the UIE Connected Car solution with video powered by MobiTV delivers real-time information and personalized content to the driver, entertainment to the rear-seat passengers and provides fully-integrated, targeted advertising delivery. The ability to add advertising can reduce the cost of a monthly subscription for connected services."

The companies are referring to the partnership as, "industry's most comprehensive and powerful in-auto entertainment solution." For more information, check out UEI's site.
