Microsoft, Fiat to roll out onboard car-data system

Now there's a scary though. But the microsoft software isn't controlling any of the critical functions of the car. Just "onboard information and communications systems". Atleast for now.

Didnt Microsoft already have a tie-up with a German car manufacturer for their on-board software? BMW? VW?
