I think that is exactly what is going to happen. All cars will end up having a cell phone cradle that serves as a modem to your on board info system. Plugging your phone into the dashboard would be a great way to turn on the car, provide on board information, talk handsfree, and maintain E911 safety measures. You could change radio stations, retrieve map instructions, make dinner reservations, get a tee time at the golf course, etc...

Since E911 mandates for cell phones are being enforced right now, cars are going to be required to maintain E911 safety features in the near future. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the government will do everything they can to enforce higher safety requirements for cars. They will soon require all cars, trucks, planes, buses, etc... to maintain gps based location services to enhance safety.
