Running Apps From Your Car's Dashboard 171
An anonymous reader writes "I guess is was inevitable, now that BMW is letting you view and make tweets from behind the wheel, but is it really a good idea to let people run smartphone apps from their dashboard monitor? I guess for navigation you could run your favorite map-app there, but there is nothing to stop people from running other apps on their dashboard too. It might be better than texting from the handset, but I'm not sure I want people playing Angry Birds while they drive."

Recklessly, not wrecklessly. They've definitely caused a car wreck.

I'd be more worried about people playing Drunk Man. Imagine the story you tell to the police for swerving all over the road.

Distracted morons are one reason why I drive full-size trucks with ugly accessories such as liftgates and tow-truck bumpers.
Besides using them for their intended purpose, such add-ons get driver attention. Flat black Rustoleum FTW!
I also keep my triball Reese hitch installed as a standoff. Anyone who rear-ends me deserves to lose a radiator, not just a bumper cover.
