Re: Power
@freehe - That's a great point! It would likely depend on what exactly was using the service that would determine if someone was willing to pay for it. It makes sense to need additional memory storage for a phone. But a car might depend on your usage. If you don't generally listen to your own music in the car, you might not really need any kind of storage space. However, a friend of mine has the ability to store music on their car radio, and I can definitely see them wanting more storage space. So while a car might seem odd to some, I could see others finding it really useful.

Re: Power
@elizabethv As car companies slowly become more like technology companies, I can absolutely see them charging for storage and other cloud services. 

The best example of this is GM's OnStar, a service that can do a number of things for car owners. I bet GM makes a killing off of OnStar, and knows providing more technology to drivers is going to boost margins.

Re: Power
@dc Car companies are adding more technology without a lot of thought about security. It only makes sense to start charging for storage.
