People have enough shit to distract them already, do they really need another? HELL NO! I would assume that this service would be more for the use of passengers travelling in the car than for the driver. I shudder to think of how someone could drive down a highway and surf the web or read email on their laptop at the same time.
I think it has the potential of being a good idea, depending upon who uses it and how it is used. That being said, I have some serious doubts as to whether this will really take off. Why would someone pay these fees to only have the service when around/in their vehicle? Getting a USB modem and a service plan from ATT, Verizon, or Sprint seems a much more practical solution.

Ok, how about this, someone mentioned a kill switch, how about a device that detects if only the driver is in the car, maybe a pressure sensor, and if it only detects the driver, it doesn't turn on, if it detects a passenger or multiple passengers, it turns on, this sound better? |

| Sure, as long as I can easily disable it. |

LOL. I would like to see some 1 driving in their dodge, chrysler or jeep and also using a laptop. laptops are not as small as cell phones so I dont see this is a problem. Its mostly people that text and dont keep their eyes on the road that causes wrecks and deaths. The wifi in car would be good for like passengers mostly. |

yeah, what about a kill switch for meddling with the radio, for killing the cig lighter, smoke detector to shut down the engine if you're smoking while driving - yeah shut down EVERYTHING if only the driver is in the car, that will work. |

You wanna see people driving with laptops?
Look in any police car. They ALL have laptops.
What kills me about this is the cop who's playing solitaire at the stoplight!
They can get the brackets to hold their laptops in their cars so that the driver can see them almost anywhere.
Pretty soon they will have to outlaw this, along with driver operated cell phones.
