Larry Pesce, senior VP of media services for Sirius (seen above) demonstrated Travel Link for us at CES on Monday night. We got to see how the system provides drivers and passengers with information about traffic, weather, entertainment, fuel prices and sports.

seems like ford is adding lots of new tech.

That's pretty slick.

They should doe something simple like make an FM station that broadcasts local traffic data so everyone can pick up on it.
