So far, most in-car Net radio systems rely on your trusty smartphone. No smartphone? No Pandora for you. But a new partnership between AT&T and BMW could deliver cars that connect to the Internet on their own.

In other words, your car dashboard would play Net radio just as easily as it plays AM/FM broadcasts now — no wires or tethering required. That’s a key step in bringing in-car Net radio to the masses. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on pricing or availability. Engadget has more info here.
