[B]The Consumer Electronics Show has kicked off in Las Vegas and is the first major electronics show each year. Videogame news usually is made and this year is no different. Once of the most interesting items is an announcement that streaming video games will be made available directly to your car.[/B]

According to [URL=http://www.gamestreamer.net/content/press_01062010.html]a press release[/URL], a demonstration was held where passengers in a vehicle equipped with "Long Term Evolution" system were able to browse a catalog of games, make a purchase, download the game and stream it directly to the vehicle. The presentation was provider by GameStreamer and Alcatel-Lucent, both members of the ng Connect Program. GameStreamer is a digital distribution company focused on games.

According to GameStreamer COO Stieg Westerberg:

[INDENT]“People passionately enjoy games and are already actively playing them through Internet connected devices such as PC's, consoles and mobile phones. We felt enabling video games in a connected car was a natural addition to these devices and one game players will welcome with open arms. The demo at CES will translate into a whole new revenue stream for wireless operators in that they can connect the automobile to the cloud and capture the imagination of both the game developer community as well as avid game players everywhere."[/INDENT]From a video on GameStreamer's site, it looks like vehicles equipped with the right technology will have the screens in headrests and possibly play off the way the backseat passengers can view videos. Hopefully there won't be any screens anywhere near the driver.
