Whether it was Internet, television or Wi-Fi, many companies are busy developing new products and methods for in-vehicle media options. We sat down with a few of these professionals to find out more about their specific devices and services.

Winston Guillory, president of the company behind AT&T Inc.’s CruiseCast, clued us in on what the service entails. CruiseCast streams television channels to the vehicle through an antenna on top of the car. In fact, Guillory noted that the experience is quite similar to watching TV at home.
Over the course of the next few days we will post more video interviews with players including Microsoft and others.
