TV, driving a bad mix

Thu., March 7, 2013

I read an article in the Wall Street Journal on Feb. 25 with the headline “GM to wire cars with 4G, putting web in dashboard.” It appears that driving under the influence may be taken over in accident numbers by this new dashboard addition.

Just imagine driving to Seattle and watching a driver passing you, watching a television show. Well, it’s here and now, so be prepared for a violent increase in highway and byway tragedies.

Driving at 70-plus miles per hour will soon be available in America, plus TV.
