I doubt Blu-ray will enter into the car audio/video sector this year, if you want it you can do it besides using a PS3 but at what cost? Also, screen resolutions will have to be increased and do we really need more than 800x480 (or similar) in a car?

What we will see probably is a move to hard drive based systems, SSD drives are becoming extremely cheap and have increased capacity quickly, not beyond mechanical drives but maybe in 2-4 years.
