General Motors continues to recover from a disastrous 2008 and 2009, and in that respect its latest quarterly numbers indicate it is partially on the way to becoming a consistent profit maker. But, it has a very long road ahead. In converting more shoppers into buyers and taking away from the competition, the automaker will be teaming up with Google Inc. (GOOG) to offer more in-car technology in combination with its existing OnStar service.
Ford Motor Company (F) has had a relationship with Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) for in-car entertainment and calling for years now, so it's good to see GM finally step up its game. It still has a way to go in keeping up with Ford's continual technology announcements, but a partnership with the largest internet brand is a good start. Google will provide its Google Maps navigation product directly onto the OnStar product, and it will initially debut on the upcoming Chevy Volt electric vehicle.
