GM President and General Manager for China Kevin Wale on Thursday shared his opinions of the future of information highway and its connectivity with automobiles on his blog and sought online users' advices on the subject.

GM will demonstrate electrification, connectivity, as well as autonomous driving, and how these technologies can be combined to enhance the environment, driving safety and the way people manage future traffic flows, Wale said on his blog at GM's official Expo 2010 Website. He said that he was most excited about the "communication pathways" that offer great new opportunities to link them to future vehicles and future infrastructure to create even more flexibility, fun and safety in the way people commute.

The company had launched a new technology called OnStar technology in China, which provides infrastructure information and navigation advices. It provides remote diagnosis of the vehicle and can even demobilize the car in the event that it is stolen. The technology is a milestone of GM's connectivity technology, said Wale on his blog.

GM will demonstrate OnStar's next generation technology during the Expo 2010 for connectivity.
