Let the bumper cars game begin!! Wasn't there one company who wanted to put a holographic overlay on the windshield so you could drive and surf at the same time??
In this area, you can get a full ticket (not a secondary offense) for using the fone or having the phone in your hand (must be speakerphone or hands free and must be put down somewhere) ...they instituted the law and many thousands of tickets have been written but just about half or more of the drivers I encounter on the road have their cell glued to their ear with their hand to it ...especially school bus drivers, oil&gas truck drivers, teen girls in noisy cars, and just about every police car I see. The thing is out of control. A kid on a fone rear ended our car with whiplash to my wife and never got a ticket for it. Of course, the police chief of that town is now in jail for stealing money from a charity...

One of the bigger news stories coming out of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is the huge emphasis on the part of car makers to provide drivers with full blown internet connectivity while they are driving. Ford is pushing their Internet Dashboard which will let drivers Tweet, to update their Facebook page, write and receive e-mails, watch Youtube videos, search the internet, or do anything else that they would normally do while they safely sit at a desk at home. Critics say the auto industry must be deaf, dumb and blind to safety issues already made perfectly obvious by drivers who use their cell phones or other electronic devices while operating their vehicles, or do other things that distract them while behind the wheel. Critics are calling this a disaster in the making while the industry says they are just trying to sell cars by meeting the "demands" of consumers. Yeah, all my friends and acquaintances have been screaming bloody murder for years to be able to use the internet while driving, haven't yours?
