New York’s Taxi & Limousine Commission gave a preview of the next generation of taxi cabs they will have a touch-screen that allows you to watch TV, pay by credit card, track your movement on a map, and retrieve your things that you forgot in the backseat. 

The city Taxi & Limousine Commission gave a preview Thursday, showing off a touch-screen device that lets passengers check news and weather reports, look up restaurant reviews and track their cab's progress on an electronic map. The tracking feature also promises to make it easier for riders to retrieve things they leave behind. Rather than racking their minds for a medallion number, riders will be able to call a city information line and say where they were dropped off and what was lost. The taxi commission will work from that to try to find the cab. (siliconvalley)
