I'm going to go with a big fat NO on this one.

can't be any worse than the average West Bloomfield driver.

From what I have seen a lot of iphones are smarter than their users...who need their phone to find a bathroom and then may still need instruction on what to do once they have found the bathroom.

I want to see what happens when someone uses that "bump" thing for sharing info on the iphone with another while they are driving...could you bump passenges and cargo from one vehicle to another withou stopping?

I keep thinking of the BMW that was driven by cell phone in Tomorrow Never Dies.

[Der Nister]

I think new technology is (almost) always great but in this case.....................no.

The raods are already filled with idiot drivers that have trouble doing what they should be doing while behind a wheel (and most drive badly).

Now we have an 'app' that new drivers (i.e. 16 y.o. kids) will want to do because they are obsessed with their iphone.

I pray they are never allowed access to that app.

I was just thinking that.

[TheGimp]

yea...how about no...bad bad idea...your ganna have Rtarted Teenagers that think that there playing playstation or XBOX and then cause baaaaaad accidents

[Simon Bar Sinister]

hmmm...

couldn't this make parallel parking easier? at least for some people? one could get out of the car and have a better view of the task at hand.

...or remotely controlling robots?

...then again, no more recruiting suicide truck bombers.

[LadyKay]

Okay well that's cool and all but why would I need something like that? Why would I want my car to go driving without me?

[Tacohitts]

The last thing I ever want to do is use my I-phone to drive a car,WTF!

[Slogo]

at least people won't talk on them (hopefully)

[TheLordOfSins]

I gotta get that app for my iPhone... lol

[jynxxxedangel]

...until one of them get a hold of it...

That's exactly what I was thinking, when I saw this thread.
