Google to possibly take Android OS to GM’s OnStar car service

In the spirit of mobile into vehicle integration, Google intends to take their Android OS to General Motors' OnStar car service. That’s according to the grapevine as neither company has made a statement confirming this ‘merger’. The idea that goes along with this integration is to allow Android mobile users a certain amount of control with On OnStar-enabled cars. We’ve seen quiet few of these ‘merger’ emerge in the last few months from Ford with their MyFord Touch system and BMW’s tie up with BlackBerry. According to some of the sites, the Android system for GM would allow users to unlock your doors, start up your engine, and adjust other in-vehicle settings simply by tapping a few keys on your phone's screen. I wonder if I could even drive the car like Pierce Brosnan did with his 007 suped up Beemer in Tomorrow Never Dies?
