Not one day after
General Motors said they'd found a
mysterious technology partner to help extend the Chevy Volt's futuristic OnStar functionality do anonymous sources step in (as usual) to ruin the surprise. Though we thought RIM made a fine contender,
Motor Trend says it's actually Google that'll reportedly "sell its Android operating system for in-car use." Last we heard, Google wasn't in the business of
selling Android, but that wouldn't stop GM from using the open-source OS anyhow -- in fact,
we already knew Android cars were on the way, and
one's already in production. Let's just hope GM doesn't take the integration too far: we fear the day will come when our "engine" app spontaneously decides to
force close.
