Anyone got Jupiter Jack? Is that thing any good? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 11, 2010 1:13 PM Subject: Cars and the CES...
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?
