At the CARTES electronic expo at Paris, BMW and Visa have teamed up to develop a new feature that can soon allow your BMW vehicle to process your credit card and allow transaction right through your car. One of the possibilities with the new credit card service in your car will be to download music from an online music store directly into your BMW’s media center. Let’s hope that’s where it stops, unless you’re a big fan of keeping your eyes off the road and on your dashboard display shopping for clothes and groceries. Nonetheless, a very cool idea.
