Default HD Radio is done, and so are music-oriented FM stations.

BMW announced that a recent engineering demonstration in Philadelphia,
PA has validated the concept of broadcasting advanced traffic
information via HD Radio stations. The exercise, conducted in November
using the Transport Protocol Experts Group (TPEG) protocol, was led by
Munich-based BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH (BMW Group Research and
Technology) and supported by BMW of North America and its technology
partner, Clear Channel Total Traffic Network. The new TPEG protocol
for Traffic Flow and Prediction (TFP) supports real-time, high-speed
broadcast of traffic information and will enable future vehicles to
view current and predicted traffic patterns, speeds, and flows almost
instantaneously. For the entire article, go to:
