Yes, plenty of cars have built-in GPS navigation. But up until now, no car had Google Earth integrated, but now Audi has remedied that with their new luxury car, the Audi A8.
Snugged right into the LCD screen
in the car, the Google Earth
application will let lucky owners look at 3D satellite imagery, terrain information, and even additional info layers such as Wikipedia articles or Panoramio images related to a certain location. A8’s system will also feature Google Maps
and Local Search, plus the ability to link it all with your desktop computer. To save time, you can simply search for an address on your computer and send it to the car; when you start driving, the car will know where to go. 
However, if you’re not familiar with German manufacturer’s luxury cars
, lets just say that only those with the deepest pockets will be buying one. The rest of us will have to make do with an iPhone
stand and the Google Earth
mobile app.[Mashable]
