Mercedes is the driving force behind just such a concept. The wireless option, called DriveBy InfoFueling, would give drivers up-to-the-second traffic reports, maps, and songs they may have heard, liked and wanted to store in their stereo. This technology is still a ways down the road. Mercedes is demonstrating a prototype this week at Comdex.
