OnStar isn’t just for breakdowns and directions anymore.

At the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, the General Motors subsidiary will preview a new commerce program called AtYourService, which will offer retail coupons, hotel booking, and restaurant incentives all from your car.

Thus far, the firm has announced relationships with companies like Dunkin’ Donuts, Priceline.com, and coupon providers such as RetailMeNot and Entertainment Book.

A worldwide parking map called Parkopedia will also be included with AtYourService, as well as e-book supplier Audiobooks.com. OnStar advisors will have access to a multitude of special offers and options for different merchants, and the network will continue to expand as the product rolls out.

“On the heels of our 4G LTE connectivity launch last year, OnStar will continually roll out powerful, simple ways to bring daily-relevant connected vehicle features like AtYourService to complement our foundation of safety and security technology,” said Mark Lloyd, OnStar consumer online officer. “We will continue to innovate in ways that make our customers’ time on the road more efficient and more convenient.”

The emergency, security, navigation, and diagnostic service is currently available in over 30 GM vehicles.

Later on in the month, Chevrolet is expected to debut the next-generation Volt at the 2015 International Auto Show in Detroit, which runs from January 12th to January 15th. Also rumored for the show is a plug-in hybrid CUV that may be called the Crossvolt. The American brand trademarked the name in December.

The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
