As the Internet has become accessible pretty much anywhere nowadays and surfing the web inside a coffee shop for instance, is now part of everyday life, Chrysler is getting ready to take things to the next level.

As if listening to music, watching DVDs and talking on the phone wasn’t distracting enough, the company is planning to implement a wireless Internet service in its 2009 vehicle series. The UConnect Web service implies the use of cellular technology in order to enable passengers to get online regardless their driving route. Users may also be given access to several satellite television and radio stations.

Although pricing-related details haven’t been disclosed yet, it is very likely that the service will be made available through a monthly subscription fee.

The system will feature a 30GB in-car hard drive, capable of supporting a wide range of music formats, movies and images, and may also power a navigation system. A preview of what’s ahead will be showed off on a selected number of 2008 Chrysler vehicles.

Obviously enough, not everybody is equally excited about Chrysler’s plans. Jonathan Adkins, spokesman for the California Governors Highway Safety Assistant, feels that the Internet is definitely something people should not have access to while driving, as it is nothing but "a distraction."

Starting July 1, according to new California laws, drivers won’t be able to use mobile phones without hands-free kits.
