LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Cell phones and TVs converging with the Internet? That's so 2008. The next big tech trend may be the marriage of computer technology to your car or truck.

This month, Hyundai is launching a system that warns motorists when they drift out of the lane they're traveling in.

Sounds like a great system if you tend to fall asleep wall driving!

I saw a commercial this week for a new Lincoln that displays a graphic of the local weather forecast on the screen when you start the engine. I look forward to seeing more clever ways that Internet access can enhance the driving experience.

It is an interesting idea for sure but do people really need another distraction while driving? Can the computing not wait until later, after arriving at the destination?

funny how in most states it's not legal to talk on the cell phone, which is totally understandable, and now they are introducing more distractions..Plus you can't even get away from work no more..no more, Boss, i'll be late cuz I'm stuck in traffic..Boss will be able to say, well, just open your email in the car and handle "bla" for me.....driving was and still is a way away from everything for me...It sounds really cool, but i would never want it..
