Milledgeville, GA | Not everyone's that stupid As someone who's assembled a carputer but hasn't finished installing it yet, I can assure you that very few people expect to browse the web while driving. Most cars are equipped with a remote trunk release too, yet you don't see it being used too often while the car is moving.
Articles like this also forget about the passenger sitting next to the driver. He's more than capable of bringing up hotel listings or weather a hundred miles up the road from your current location. When you stop for a restroom break you can check your email, proof a Word document for the boss, or just queue up your next playlist before hitting the road again.
The main draw of a DIY carputer is that it's exactly what you want, hardware and software. You're not saddled with nag screens and restrictions that won't let your rear seat passengers start up a video because the car is already moving. It's great that they're all different - it's what drives the hobby to new levels.

I've been wanting to build one for my FJ Cruiser for a while but the parts would be around $1300 (to have everything I want). Sadly, as a fairly new homeowner, my Cruiser will be without a CarPC for a while...
Good luck with your rig!
