In 1951 crumple zones were first developed by Mercedes-Benz as a part of their ‘standard’ vehicle production. 1982 Mercedes introduced pre-tensioned seat-belts, we think nothing of today. Anti-locking brakes, traction control and airbags, are all Mercedes innovations, now standard on modern vehicles. In 2008 all new Mercedes will roll-off the production-line armed with an internet radio. That means motorists in Europe and the U.S can tune into 'Pure NZ Alt Radio' as they cruise along the autobahn or freeway. Just how frigging cool is that! Kiwi music blaring out of those car speakers - broadcast over the net from a radio station run out of a Christchurch study! Yes folks, what is innovative one day, rapidly becomes 'standard' the next. And in the not too distant future as internet radio become the norm in cars & households around the globe, existing commercial music stations will crumble as low cost specialist shows like this eat into their market.You can listen to the music you want to hear.Be it Lithuanian Follk Songs, Death Metal or Acid Jazz, there is an internet station playing exactly what you want to hear.
The internet radio revolution HAS started.
You read it here first.
