In Europe, practically all car radios for the past ten years or more understand this data and will even display traffic accident information. Want to listen to jazz? The radio will find a jazz station for you. Radio station starting to fade out as you drive away from it? If the station has a networked twin, the radio will tune to it.
We've got that on our Chevy Venture. Very nice.
