Integrating my Phone w/ my car's GPS system

@tomheinan recently noted that it should be possible to send addresses from ones cellphone to the car's GPS system.  Seriously, this is so brain-deadly obvious, its obviously not something that we're going to see soon.
Unless, of course, you're Samsung, in which case it turns out that you are thinking about precisely this.
Or, to be a wee bit more technically accurate, they're talking about creating
... an in-car solution that seamlessly connects Samsung smartphones to Toyota's In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system.   
The collaboration will see the integration of a wide array of Samsung's smartphone and mobile communication technologies with Toyota's cutting-edge IVI to add enhanced connectivity, multimedia capabilities and internet services.
Absolutely no more information here.  But its been a long time coming, and I, for one, welcome it.  Mind you, this does coincide with me (most likely) selling my car since it doesnt look like we'll ever use the damn thing in NYC...
