Wireless cell phone charging may be the next big thing for cars, according to The Detroit News.
Wireless smartphone charging in your car may soon be as common as touchscreens and voice-activated technology.
Powermat Technologies Ltd. will offer wireless smartphone charging on some 2014 General Motors Co. vehicles, Ran Poliakine, CEO of the Israeli-based firm, said in an interview with Bloomberg News.
GM is an investor in Powermat — it has a $5 million stake — and the automaker joins a handful of other automakers racing to add the technology inside vehicles.
