Audis will be crashing everywhere this year as Google and Intel develop technology to transform car dashboards into smartphones. Along with GPS and 3-D maps, the 10-inch screens will include web pages, HD video, and other accident-inducing distractions.
I can only imagine how many people will be driving while watching porn. You can even plug in your keyboard with this thing. Technology experts and car safety advocates are criticizing the “infotainment systems” for increasing the risk of car accidents, some say exponentially.
To cover their backs, the Audi system includes a pop-up warning saying, “Please only use the online services when traffic conditions allow you to do so safely.” In spite of the disclaimer that their system will restrict certain functions while the car is in motion, you’ll still be able to view restaurant reviews, search engines, and photos.
The user’s safety will depend on their common sense and general intelligence, and knowing how stupid people are, I don’t think this will turn out well. So sit back and relax as the car wrecks and lawsuits abound! : )
