Google and Audi have teamed up to "take Google services in a car to the next level," the search giant said in an official blog post earlier this week. What they're talking about is integrating Google Earth into the newly unveiled Audi A8.

The Audi A8 becomes the first car manufacturer to bring Google Earth right into the vehicle, which will be combined with a handful of Google services. Drivers will have access to 3D satellite imagery, terrain information, and a bunch of other geo information based on the current location.

But that's not all. Google Maps and local search will be linked to the driver's desktop, so an Audi A8 owner will be able to send business listings direct from Google Maps to their car, or search for an address on their home or work PC and have that info ready when its time roll out in the Audi A8.

"Our mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful is paid into by the efforts of Google's automotive team -- they always are trying to find new ways to make relevant information accessible and useful -- now also in your car."
