I agree its not nessary whilst driving... what can possibly be that important?

Interesting how many Facebook haters are on FF.com thou :P

Is it just me or are manufacturers starting to run out of new ideas for cars? I mean when you look at what has been stuffed into cars over the past 10 years, a Suzuki Alto even has ESP which was just becomeing standard on Lexus/BMW back in 01" on their lower models.

Adding to the complexity of driving, or making tech for the sake of it is in my oppinion just stupid, Im tech savvy and i do like the latest smartphone's etc but it makes my work/personal life easier at the end of the day driving is still a life or death task so perhaps taking the focus away from that or relaxing you into a sence of security while doing the daily commute is the wrong way forward.

True a lot of young kids love their phones and stick to it like its their only lifeline in the world.

True also about america as i was just there and did notice that ladies on the beach or by the pool in the sun, laying there but on their phone all f....ing day long

I didnt know if i should have felt bad for them or hate them.... But i tell you it wasnt an attractive feature

So some people do take this technology to the extreme..

The chicken said "Facebook, book, book."
The frog replied, "Read it, read it."

So the bird brains at GM said "we have come up with a great idea".

Anyway.
