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.

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.

It's a good idea period. Putting a kill switch on it would defeat the purpose.
Is it really a good idea? 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.

Its a good idea in theory, but maybe there will be a kill switch that the wifi wont work if the car is in drive (park only.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/WiFi-In-the-Auto-20943181 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 08:14:13 EDT
