Unnecessary innovations

Well, here is a truly unnecessary innovations. Just imagine how distracted one can get reading their email at 70 mph. And I thought that cell phones were bad.

As much as I agree with you that it is unneeded, the main internet use would be by PASSENGERS, and not the driver.

Also, if VOIP is a targeted feature of this enhancement?, then it would be integrated in to the "hands free" phone system already built in to more and more cars. Not that I think that is a good thing either.

In any case, I don't think that the driver browsing the internet is a big worry.

TK, not sure that I agree with you, I have heard reports of texting while driving and I don't see browsing the internet as that big a leap.

Yes but it's likely the people who would use this while driving are already texting while driving and the like.

What passengers? The average commuter, who is most likely to use Wi-Fi in their vehicle, travels alone. That's why HOV lanes are empty and traffic is a mess in most major cities. There may be more multi-occupancy vehicles lately due to gas prices, but they're still only a small fraction of the daily commuter traffic.
