Ford Adding Social Networking to Cars










"guess what guys? i just caused a 10 car pile up! whoops! lol"

It totally boggles my mind how ANYONE who's driven and seen people drive with a cell phone, much less txting while driving, could think this is a good idea. And the rationale?

"It is a reason now to buy a Ford," Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally said in an interview. "It's a new way of working and talking with your car." 

You know, I'm no social scientist. I've done no studies to prove that driving and texting or driving and talking on the phone are wreckless. ("Most of the industry studies show that just driving and just talking is the same," Kuzak said. "As long as the customer's eyes are on the road, they are not compromised."  Yeah, this coming from the guy/gal swerving all over the road) I do have my own experience which very very clearly says this is just Bad, yes, capital "B".

Come on, what happened to good sense?

Do you not drive a car ... on this earth?
