WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: May 28, 2002 Why Your New Car Doesn't Have a Built-in PC (Cringely) -- "Telematics hasn't worked so far because we don't have hard disk drives that will reliably run in automobiles, and telematics hasn't worked so far because it takes four years to design a car."

If Cringely had put as much effort into scenarios for use as he did describing the technology, there would be a telematics revolution. Instead we get iDrive. A little over-fondness with the solution before there's a problem to focus on. ...Always a recipe for disaster. Posted by: (the other)JS on May 29, 2002 07:58 AM
Having watched drivers weaving in and out of their lanes on the highway as they talk on their cell phones, I am shuddering at the thought of drivers web surfing as they drive. Posted by: jl on May 29, 2002 11:49 AM
For the sake of all our lives, I hope they don't put computers into our cars. Posted by: MadMan on May 29, 2002 12:13 PM
I agree with all.. I've been tried to be victimized (or run over, or thrown off a cliff) by enough "cellphone drivers" and/or people using their GPS monitors etc. Please don't do this to humanity! No browsing or surfing in cars please. I'll make sure to develop a sign for that soon... Posted by: Berna on May 29, 2002 04:06 PM
