I suspect that the parking and maybe the weather stuff is useful in Germany... the parking in particular would be useful if car parks were a) all on the map and b) able to transmit space availability electronically.

Its probably some time before the reality of a fully integrated traffic system comes to the UK but Germany probably sooner than anywhere else. I read that that next generation of cruise control will integrate with traffic light systems to allow the car to slow approaching red traffic lights to avoid having to stop (and the Co2 emissions of stop-start).

Its all coming but certainly not in the UK anytime soon and even then probably in the big cities only.

I can't see Grimsby getting anything 21st century in the 21st century!

The traffic data though would be really good for me... better still if it could be used easily without route guidance active... like my previous car used to do!
