The 2013 International CES in Las Vegas was a reminder just how much our cars have become a second home to us. Both Ford (NYSE: F ) and General Motors (NYSE: GM ) announced they are welcoming outside developers to create in-car apps for entertainment, communication, and navigation.
Ford's SYNC AppLink features voice control for many of its apps. The control panel for GM's Chevrolet MyLink looks like an Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPhone, and many of its vehicles integrate directly with Apple's Siri voice control.
Another battle taking place inside your car is the one between satellite radio king Sirius XM (NASDAQ: SIRI ) and web radio providers such as Pandora (NYSE: P ) . Rex Moore caught up with consumer technology expert Rob Pegoraro in Las Vegas and asked him who might win the ears of today's drivers.
Despite Sirius XM�being one of the market's biggest winners since bottoming out three years ago, there is still some healthy upside to be had if things go right for it -- and plenty of room for it to fall if things don't.
