I think basically, every car should come standard with the hands-free system, and the purchaser only has to coordinate with their existing cellphone carrier to either add the car to their list of "phones," or as a device that automatically takes over when the owner's phone is detected.
OR...
One of GM's best features was its On-Star system (maybe it's only good feature... we'll leave that for another time). I always felt that such services should be expanded to all appropriate vehicles, expanding the system, which would in turn employ more people to do the call connecting and service providing duties to the vehicles. That kills two birds with one stone, making it safer for drivers, and employing more workers.
Boo-yah!

...and I wouldn't get stuck behind some guy in a pick-up truck going 25mph in a 40mph zone on a single lane road yakking to his buddy thinking he's out for a Sunday stroll!! ARG! Believe it or not, this happens to me almost everyday out in here in rural, VA!
