| Like Cellphones
TV, DVD TV, XBOX in the car to cause yet another distraction should generate a $500 ticket.
A cellphone user is like 75% more likely to have an accident so I bet two geeks playing XBOX in a Hummer is 900% more likely. It is reasonable to expect a video game is going to require a lot more attention than a cellphone?
And, when "Brandon's" toy kills someone, it should be no different than a drunk doing it. Brandon needs to grow-up.
I don't talk on the cellphone in my car. Why? Seen and read about too many accidents and cops now are determining fault based on it. |

Well, from the video, the screen, game, etc. is in the back seat, so it's really no different than the family drop down car DVD players. The driver doesn't see them.
If anything, you may get ticketed for having such a large screen, since it does block your view in the vehicle. That would be the only real safety concern. |

...To our kids when there is wi-fi radiation flowing about the air. They put TV's and video game consoles in moving vehicles and play online. The healthy home alliance probably loves this story. |

|  Why not stick a modded xbox in?
I have a similar setup in my ride with a modded xbox, pioneer's AVH7800 dvd player, MTX's TXC6.1, MTX's Thunder 9515-44 Subwoofer, TA 5604 amp, and a TA 91002 amp.
The box is running XBMC. [Xbox Media Center]I can ftp into the box to swap my music/video, plus it runs all my emulators along w/ xbox games. Plus the way I see it, it's much safer than digging through cds to find the one song I want to listen to. |

Re: I can do that
Me too. I've got an EVDO A card. Story is lame.
Why don't you jump in your car and launch up a yahoo game. I'll jump in mine and do the same. We'll post it on a blog and get yahoo to sponsor us and be on the front page here with our story  |

And it's much less safe if you have a video screen in view of the driver causing distraction or fiddling with your Xbox trying to load a different song.
Every time I hear a car driving by rattling the windows in my house, I come that much closer to developing plans for a Bass Seeking Missile. It is funny to see $2000 cars with $3000 dollars of audio equipment and 6 video screens though. Funny in a pathetic kind of way, but whatever- it ain't my money. |

So the driver is going to play the game and drive (from the back seat) at the same time? How? |

| Get a Nissan instead...
Anyone who has that much money to spend might as well eventually get the Nissan Urge if it makes production.
The Urge has an integrated Xbox 360 where you can use the car's steering, pedals, and shifter to play racing games.
