HP has a service like that if you own an HP computer but enabling that service was an adventure in spyware.
I'm not aware of any free-standing programs or services that will do the same but, after my HP experience, I would be hesitant to install a program that would scan my hardware then broadcast this (and other) information on the net looking for driver updates
