DETROIT (CNN) -- General Motors and Ford are working to put the information superhighway on the real highways of the United States.

GM has formed a partnership with America Online. Later this year, the automaker plans to equip some GM cars with technology that will enable drivers to connect to AOL via satellite.

Ford has a similar plan, but a different partner: Yahoo. The automaker's goal is to put its customers in touch with Ford products and services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
