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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21074157 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:05:22 EDT Re: Unnecessary innovations http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21071208 Combat Chuck :

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21071208 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:58:59 EDT Re: Unnecessary innovations http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21070544 Austinloop : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21070544 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 11:34:10 EDT Re: Unnecessary innovations http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21070501 TKJunkMail :

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.
