Soon your morning commute may be even more productive. Chryler announced Thursday that as of 2009, it's putting Wi-Fi directly into its cars.

Chryler's "uconnect web" program will offer aftermarket in-vehicle modifications though Mopar, essentially turning your car itself into a hot spot. According to a statement by Chrysler, the uconnect web system will combine Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity to provide users with high-speed data transfer capability. No longer will you need a smartphone to check your e-mail while driving.

In addition to equipping cars with Wi-Fi under uconnect, Chrysler will package a variety of technologies under the uconnect name, including satellite radio, a literal "car phone," an integrated GPS, and streaming TV.

"We set out to connect customers to the things that matter most to them," said Deborah Meyer, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer - Chrysler LLC, in a statement. "The role for 'uconnect' in the 2009 model year places the focus on the customer experience and how the features will make their life easier."

Other uconnect features include, among others, Bluetooth technology to allow drivers to receive calls with a receiver built into the car, Sirius Satellite Radio, and a built-in 30 GB hard drive with photo and movie viewing capabilities.
