Actually it probably wouldn't. On one of the detailed tech reviews I saw a few days ago they mentioned that the Apple TV has a minimum resolution of 480i which is higher than s-video and not something I think a simple converter would take care of for you. Unless there are HDTV car monitors yet, I don't think the Apple TV will work right now.

The other thing that I think is an issue is it's power supply. Unlike the Mini, the power supply is built into the Apple TV which means you will have to have an inverter. It is also unclear as to it's sleep/power up habits at this time and how you could manage it in a car.
