This would be pretty cool. Cheap, reliable chips for your car instead of these ridiculously overpriced ECU's.

I was more thinking it would go into the more core parts of a car's computer to work with systems that prevent accidents and the like. With an actual processor that can handle the software / systems designed for such tasks, it makes it all the more plausable to the common vehicle, even in the near future. And then some.
Btw, there are already programs that handle MP3 players, in-car voice communication and such like in my car. It's called Microsoft Sync. Voice Command ftw.

Oh my, i just hope the cars won't run M$ along with the Atom...Imagine a dashboard error telling you that your steering is locked, and you have to close your windows and re-open them to re-gain control...
