Just when we have enough distractions while driving including but not limited to cell phone use, texting, eating/ kids in the backseat, etc, now we have to worry about those surfing the 'net while driving :eek:. They say it's for passenger use, yeah right, it won't be long before the drivers get involved too.
I can see it now, D.W.S. ( driving while surfing,) or D.W.P.(driving while porn) :lol:
Maybe it can be a useful tool as members can diagnose their vehicles' issues on AF while in the car :grinyes: .

Great....:disappoin
Customer complaints after this comes out....
.....My engine sounds funny, what if I get stranded somewhere?
......My brakes sound bad, I fear for my kids....
Then some fool comes in "When I try to click open eBay it goes to Google, how will I know if I won those shoes?!?!?!"
:shakehead

Just another gimmick to sell cars. Chrysler must really be hurting. :loser:
I can do without Internet access while I am mobile. Thats where I go to get away from it all and I don't need any more distractions. Bad enough with the crazy drivers on the road.

At least those with camera phones can take pictures and upload them and blog about it while they wait for the tow trucks to arrive.:grinyes:.

Exactly. . . . The resulting traffic jam should give the ladies more time to apply their make up and the guys more time to go through the mail.

As usual nothing is free. If you look closer at the article there will probably be a charge for it and then an annual or monthly subscription fee. It will be just like GM's Onstar program. No one I know ever renewed their subscriptions.
Onstar calling! <---:chair:

I agree. . . I never really got the whole OnStar thing. What can it do that a cell phone can't do?
