In the 21st century, we have a multitude of ways to pay for things. There's always cold, hard cash, but you can also use a debit or credit card; your modern smartphone is even an option. Offering yet another method, the folks at SiriusXM have partnered with Visa to develop a system that allows you to pay for stuff with your vehicle. That means no fumbling for greenbacks or digging a card out of your wallet or purse.

An extension of its connected-vehicle services, the satellite-radio firm announced this technology at CES last year, but now it's basically ready to hit the market. Here's how it works.

SiriusXM has partnered with Visa to develop this system, which enables you to seamlessly pay for things like tolls and parking, buy fuel, and even order a sausage, egg and cheese McBagel breakfast burrito from your favorite quick-service restaurant. You can do all this right from the driver's seat using either the vehicle's dashboard display or voice commands.

No matter what you do, it's all designed to be extremely easy. Whether you buy some fuel or pay for a fast-food combo meal, there are no separate apps to fiddle with and you only have to enter your payment information once. That's it.
