Is this a good idea?

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:

It's already here in some cars - We put it into the Nissan Juke last year and Ford are about to expand their sync services with it anytime now.....

*Tuts* .....I suppose you think I am mad because I chose the car...for the name?

I suppose its no worse than choosing a car for the colour....

I liked the idea - until I got to the bit about gathering information! Apart from that I don't see that it's any different from having a sat nav, radio etc.

Oh and colour is very important when choosing a car!

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
