Seriously though, get the motive / switching right and this should be the next generation car. Perhaps not in an enclosed tube though in case of failure but then again, what's a plane?
So there the Neanderthals were trucking along nicely for hundreds of thousands of years. Then they start to copy the humans and promptly disappear. Perhaps we should take note...;-)
Don't bother with FM transmitters, the Car aerial is on the outside of the car with the (weak) FM transmitter on the insife of the (metal) car.
My idea of the ultimate car "stereo" would have a CF slot that would be populated with a Bluetooth module by default. You could re-populate the CF slot with your own CF card.
Sadly, it doesn't help us now for those of us that have FM only car stereos.
PS: CF is the best as it is not sticky-outy (ie can be flush) and you can fit adaptors for all the other memory sizes.
Anyway, this is my $0.02 worth, hopefully someone will either say: "You want model "123" of brand "XYZ", or will go out and design this into their next car stereo.
The Canadian site releases stuff weekly and has a great archive of material and interview some really interesting people. The Nasa site also has a largish archive but is a recital of the website material and only provide mp3s.
If you have RealPlayer then http://www.dw-world.de/english/ is worthy of a weekly visit. Their Tomorrow Today has some great material from time to time but no archive as far as I can tell.
If anyone else can recommend any other sites that provide archived multimedia documentary material, I'd be interested.

It can't be that good, it hasn't even made it to BitTorrent yet. :)

Nope, the sharks need water/oxygen.

I suspect this would foil the proposed system as the system would have no choice but to disable itself once the system didn't know where it was.
