Android and Apple are now vying to take over your car. Personally, I think there are enough distractions already.

Oh dear me no....
I think they are forgetting that a car is for driving. All this additional stuff will provide nothing but dangerous distractions.
Not sure I would want them 'collating data' on me either. There is enough of that already...:smileysad:

I am a 'professional pedistrian' & I regularly see elderly & young drivers go over the pelican/zebra crossings in the town of Skipton, in which I live ..... they drive either very slowly gawping out of the driver's side window ..... or in the case of the younger more arrogant ones = 'I will drive through regargless'
all imho of course ..... no to mention the regular driving along the wrong way along a very busy one way road which is very difficult for pedistrians to monitor ..... also whilst I'm on a roll ..... = .....one of the several hump back bridges over the canal ..... = ..... drivers just do either not bother to indicate to a particular nearby t junction I have in mind or indicate far too late
it appears to me that many drivers just do not give pedestrians a 2nd thought & with all the above mentioned distractions = so to answer the op question = no it's not a good idea
OK rant over
